Hotchkis Sway Bar Install

I just finished installing a set of Hotchkis Sways. It was super easy. This was the third car I've done this to and the G was by far the easiest of the three. Less than 90 minutes start to finish.

I concur with your opinion on the install, and after the install I now look forward to every on/off ramp!

This is how the should have been built in the first place. I only noticed a very minimal increase in NVH. This was a very good first mod for me. Not it's time to do more research on coils. Navecm, what's next for you?

What sort of noises or harshness have you noticed?

Only a very slight increase in harshness over bumps, dips. It's barely even noticeable. My wife didn't even say anything. I've installed these in other cars and had a very noticeable increase in NVH. This is a non-issue in the G. Easily the best bang for buck mod.

I'm leaning towards coilovers - I've heard a lot of people like kw3 variants
