I have the Hotckis sway bars, and the TRD strut tower brace. My Hotchkis rear sway bar increased my spring rate by 200 lbs. Makes it a lot stiffer, but allows me to keep from bottoming or scraping when I am loaded down with tools and equipment for my installations. My K-Sport coilovers are at the middle setting, then 2 more clicks to the soft direction. Generally pretty happy with it. Handles like crazy in the corners. A bit stiff when the road gets rough. All in all, pretty satisfied, until I blew the right front shock.

Will post pix tonight or tomorrow.

That's the whole idea with coilovers... you can adjust the he11 out of them!

If you didnt want adjustability then you should have bought springs.

That is the key to this. I messed with mine for a couple days and then it is golden. I run mine alittle on the softer side as well. Mine rides better then most springs.
