Default Hotchkis Sway Bars.....

Who has them. I know this is a repost, but quite frankly I do not feel like looking through 3,230,233 posts to find it.

I also notice in the set you get a front sway bar....well what if i just want the rear??

you cant just buy the rear bar, they come as a set only. Secondly I dont know what the effects of running only the rear bar would be since they were made to work in conjunction with each other. If you dont mind me asking, why dont you want to use the front bar?

When i worked at beaverun, a guy i worked with said to not put on front and rear sway because you'll never know where exactly your weakness is on the suspension

He personally drove my tC on our North Track and he said that a Rear Sway bar was very much needed, but was also impressed by the tein s-tech setup and was blown away i didnt have a strut bar lol

Well if you want just a rear sway you can get the one from TRD. From what I read and hear it's made by Hotchkis. I think thats the only way you're going to find one. Let me know if you're interested.

Trd sway bar

dont get the hotchkis sway bars, if you want a GOOD rear sway bari recommend Progress rear anti sway bar: You can find it on ebay for about $125 which is what i did. Awsome performance coming from the bar, but these act more as beam tensioners than anything else. If you want a REALLY good sway bar search for whiteline automotive. Its an australian company that makes a very nice true sway bar that connects your arms not just a beam tensioner. If you want more info PM me.

The bars are really good and they go very very well with the tein SSP i have It is a cornering machine. No screeching or anythign going around turns very stupidly. One day ill regret having them on when i kick the car out into a tree tho. But great buy.

It is impossible to navigate the whiteline website, so I ordered the hotchkis. Anyways for $239 delivered, it can't be all that bad...

I just had a set of hotchkis sways installed. They work wonders with my TRD drop. Though there could be better options, I think the hotchkis is more than enough for my needs.
