One of my favorite mods. It really is night and day difference in handling. Best $$$ spent IMO.

You will love em!

Like the sways too! Sways and springs, handles so much better.

What percentage stiffness do you guys estimate that the Hotckis provide over the "S" sways?

Oh what a difference. Went with the middle setting & really like the big reduction in body roll. Wish I had done it sooner.

Sways make a big difference. Had my Hotchkis installed yesterday too, cause I couldn't wait for Eibach's anymore. I'd suggest getting sways but not necessarily Hotchkis. Something even better may be coming out, so pm me if you guys want more info.

Also wish there were some aftermarket endlinks, our oem endlinks are dinky.

I love mine. Night and day difference. the backend actually wants to come out a bit more in the corners instead of understeering.

Yes, you do get some oversteer with the Hotchkis. But the increase in steering response is great!

Absolutely! I love how snappy it is now. im glad i did this before lowering my car. i feel like it was a better move right now seeing how i didnt want to lose any ground clearance.
