I was wondering if it was possible to combine the hotchkis with a trd or progress rear sway bar for example, since the hotckis is an add-on and the others are replacements.

ive been reading up and i think i noticed that there isnt much difference btwn having the add-on and keeping the old one than just replacing the old one.

what are your experiences on this?

 

All the aftermarket swaybars for the xA/xB are add ons.

If you combine the Hotchkis with the TRD or Progress be aware that whichever bar is on the bottom of the other is going to be less effective than designed. It'll still work just less effectively.

I just got a set of Hotchkis front and rear bars and will hopefully install them this weekend. I already have a Whiteline swaybar installed and the Whiteline and Hotchkis mount in different locations so there is no interference.

I am happy with the Whiteline but I feel there is still too much lean in the front. So I am going to install the Hotchkis front and add the Hotchkis rear so I don't introduce the understeer that the Whiteline got rid of.

I also have a Progress rear bar I picked up for a great price. I got it just in case the Hotchkis setup creates understeer. I'd replace the Hotchkis with the Progress. Yes, the Progress fits with the whiteline. If I don't need it then I'll give the progress to my friend.

Or maybe I'll keep it and have install the whiteline, progress, and hotchkis together with the stock sway bar. Hahahaha!!! 4 rear swaybars. Maybe I'll do it for kicks and take some photos.

 

Let me know if you guys are willing to part with one. I'd be willing to buy one.

 

Cool, I;ll let you know in a month or so after I've done some testing to see what combo I like.

 

whered you get your progress bar?

 

I got it used locally from someone selling/parting out his xB

 

Are you willing to trade the Progress Sway Bar for a Hotckis Front Strut Bar, or a DC Sport Header?

 

I'd be interested in the strut bar. But you'll have to give me a few weeks. My koni yellows for the front are coming in next week and I'm looking for a set of TRD springs cuz I only want to stiffen the ride without lowering much.

Once I get the springs and shocks in then I'm playing with different swaybar combos to see which one I like.

I'll let you know.
