+1. Hotchkis sways made an amazing difference on my G35 coupe. One of the best mods I did.

haha i just wanna get everything done at the same time. wheels put on, sway bars, backup camera hack, and pedal dance bypass. they're all getting done by the same shop so it's more convenient that way.

but they'll all be done this week for sure...

I think they would be a nice compliment to my Tein CS since the Teins are so soft. Then again I am running them on setting 4 out of 16. I could keep the coilovers soft and have the bars for stability when I need it, I think I am going to pull the trigger if I can get a decent tax return.

Any other comments on how they perform? How does it make the car feel? Does it roll less? Is the ride affected?

Exclamation

my car is @ the workshop fitting the sway bars along with other parts, i just got a call that they are facing fitment issues with the rear sway bar... something that has to do with the OEM having bends not on the aftermarket one which would make the hotchkis touch the floor! i'll go and check it out after work *in an hour*. i know little about sway bars, anything in particular that i should be looking for? what is acceptable clearance?

i'll take pictues,

Thanks
