Default Whats the Difference in these two suspension packages?

I was wondering What the difference is between the 1 Hotchkis Sport Sway Bar + TRD lowering springs and the 1 Hotchkis Stage 1 TVS System and why is the "Hotchkis stage 1 TVS" more expensive.

They just got the wrong pic up.
The pic of the TVS system is the correct Hotchkis sway for the tC. Even the pic for just the Hothckis sways is the wrong pic.
Either way, you wanna go with the Hotchkis sways and springs, not the TRD springs. I had them and switched them to the Hothckis.

No they're not made by Hotchkis. I think they're made by Eibach. There difference is the drop and the spring rate. The Hotchkis springs give a little lower drop than the TRD's and they're slightly stiffer.

Josh,

I am about to get the Hotchkis setup (Sways and Springs) and i have 18x8's at 37 offset, and i am wondering if you honestly know if this will be an issue. Also i will be getting the Kaminari Body kit Which sits a bit lower if not right at the stock OEM lip kit. If there are not issues that you know of then i will most likely go with that setup.

Any good deals right now... thank for your help.. you can PM me if you like...
