Default F-Sport vs. Hotchkis sway bar

I read a bunch on the forum about what to do. Most of what i read was a bunch of bickering.

So, please help.

Should i get both? or just the rear? which one should i purchase and why>

Sorry about being repetitive.

If its not my looks making people laugh its my stupidity.... HHAAHA Yea i have the springs. Whats the difference ( coilovers/springs ) teach me !

I saw on a thread about taking them into the ddealership to take care of that clunking noise but i cant find the thread anymore. any clues....

I like the SPRINGS! other than the loud clunking noise in the rear. Ill hit up the rear sway today. why only the rear?

Thanks for the help, I am sure i will say more stupid stuff in days to come.

Always open to learn though,

Lazar

Well you came to the right forum, there is tons and tons of things
You will learn here from the experts,all you gotta do is ask and somone
Will be there to help you out this is why I chose this over my.is


And springs are a set height non adjustable
Coilovers you can raise or slam anytime and can set dampering for softness or stiffness
Depending on the drivers needs. Hope that helps

Technically there's no requirement for a coilover to be adjustable... it simply means coilspring over strut (or shock).

Granted, almost nobody uses the term correctly :P

just like 'the springs will settle' rather than saying 'the bushings will settle'
