im deciding on which sway bar to get.. im just gonna get the rear so i think trd eibach hnr progress and the st one just comes with a rear i dont think hotchkis just comes with a rear so what size should you recomend its a daily driver 22mm or 24mm i think the trd is like 19 so i dont think ill go with that.. but eibach hnr progress or st and what size 22 or 24

 

hotchkis > all

 

Just rear? TRD or Progress. Hotchkis is a little overkill IMO, maybe unless you use it the softest setting.

 

The TRD is 22mm, same as the Progress bar. Either of those would be fine for a daily driver.

 

Ive been on the TRD one with the stiffest setting for about a year now, for daily its great. A little stiffer in the rear, made corners a bit more fun to take.

 

i got the trd on my xA. can't make a comparison, never used progress. all i can say is TRD won't disappoint. makes those big circle freeway ramps fun.

 

I bought a used rear hotchkis bar, drove it on the hardest setting and it felt great. Doesnt make it any harsher since it shouldnt mess with spring rates or anything. I liked it though

 

oh i thought the trd was smaller.. ok i would get hotchicks but they are expensive because they sell front and rear so im just gonna get the rear from someone else.. whats a good size 22?

 

i wouldnt recommend getting the front sway too. have u seen where it is? lol wrapped around everything down there.

the progress sway bar is heavy. feels like pure iron. i love it and it comes with end links.

just remember to tighten all the bolts when the car is on the ground.

i dont think i heard of any sway bars that disappointed.
i remember after installing it i felt the difference. but at the same time the crappy stock struts and trd springs was more apparent. had to get coilovers lol

 

Weight in a sway bar really means nothing.

 

never said it meant anything. just a FYI when your installing it. if that thing slips out of your hands its going to bruise u

 

Just put a trd sway bar on, and it kicks @ss. Its on the race setting and has made the car so much fun to drive. trdsparks has them for 145.00

Be educated.
You CAN get just the rear Hotchkis bar. I did.
The Hotchkis is huge next to almost everything else because Hotchkis is one of the few hollow bars. More expensive to produce, stiffer, lighter. As someone mentioned earlier, the weight down low means nothing, but it works well.
Buy it if you want FUNCTION. It will sharpen up the handling, and won't hurt the cushy ride.

 

Sorry for threadjacking, but I'm looking at the Hotchkis sway bars also. Is there any place I can get them for sub $300?

 

try titan motorsports. hotchkis all the way. you will definitely notice the difference when taking those turns at 45 mph!
