My thoughts on the Hotchkis bars... I love them! The car just seems much firmer. The kit was VERY well put together, everything appears to be very high quality and fitment was perfect. A nice side effect is that the cams no longer shake the car, which is great because frankly I was getting tired of the shake. The car still feels very neutral with significantly reduced body-roll. And I have both the f/r bars set to their softest level. I'm very happy with them. Money well spent (this time).

I just took the car to a-zone to pick up a race jack. With the lower hanging hothckis rear bar I can no longer get my nice 30'' hydraulic jack under the car. Purchased a Duralast race jack.. I hope its durable. I haven't broken a duralast tool yet (yeah I know china junk) and they perform as well if not better as the Mac tools I have (no joke). And A-zone will replace no questions though I haven't had to ask them to "yet".

Took a few country roads home with 90 degree apexes. I can't seem to break the rear end free on the car now.. it will slowly rotate around corners slightly breaking traction but near impossible to completely break free. It's very odd driving a solid rear car that refuses to break the rear end free lol. It performs like the car Sam lists in his videos, slowly rotating itself around the cones. This is by far the best handling SRA car I've ever owned at this point.

Floor it in the middle of the turn, she will break loose haha. I'm glad to hear you like your swaybars so much. I think they might be my next purchase
