Im about to purchase sway bars, but I just owners opinions. Maybe some good arguing facts too. I want performance.
The Hotchkis kit has an identical sized rear bar, and a larger front bar. Thus, all else being equal, will be more prone to understeer, which isn't the desired behavior. Therefore F-sport>Hotchkis (or anyone else making 2IS bars from the specs I've seen)
I have FSport front and rear. It is probably best balance you can get in one package.
If you wanted overall stiffer, you can get hotchkis front and sikky rear, anything in the middle or stiffest setting. Together will be stiffer than fsport.
Although this would be difficult to piece together as you have to get the hotchkis in a set, front and rear.
I dont think Hotchkis offers just the front. They only sell as a set. I was thinking Cusco also, but that's far outta my budget. You'll be paying another $300 for just 2mm more for the front. That's why Im deciding between hotchkis or fsport, $$$ is in the same ball park.
Despite the OD of the tubing, does anyone actually know the tube wall thicknesses of these things? OD could be huge, but if the wall thickness is paper thin...what's the use.
If your spring rates are that high, try obtaining the hotchkis front bar and using the sikky rear. If the front isn't available, the fsport front with sikky rear would be pretty good.

Reason: damn you autocorrect
sikky is out of my budget too. the rear alone I have to pay $401 shipped to hawaii. I checked out the THmotorsports website and they have the hotchkis set for $459 with free shipping. The rear sway percentage difference is only 33%.
