Default anyone have or know about Hotchkis sway bars?

I was looking into Hotchkis sway bar set for my 97. They are the hollow design 1-1/4" up front and hollow 1" in rear. They also utilize a mount off the quad shock bolt. I wasn't sure if their design is any better than say Eibachs? Thanks

I was going to go with the Eibach anti-roll kit (front and rear sway bar) but was talked out of it and was told that our stock sway bars aren't horrible. I mean if you are into corner carving thats another story

Hotchkis makes great suspension products. I had their tvs (including sway bars) sytem on my dakota and it carved better than some mustangs I've driven. You definitely can't go wrong with them if superior handling is what your after.

Thanks Tbird. I wanted to verify with others before I spent $500 on their set up.

No problem, I had a really good experience with the company too. They were very helpful.
