Default Hotchkis 4/3 way adjustable swaybar kit

I just purchased a set of these. http://www.hotchkis.net/05_mustang_sport_sway_bars.html

I liked the fact they are somewhat adjustable and hollow f/r bars. What do you guys think about them?

I love em. Sam Strano sells em for about $80 less, though. I believe they are the largest bars you can buy for our cars and is one of the only kits that has adjustability on both bars. They're perfect if you're doing a soft spring/big bar setup.

Thanks. I should have checked with Sam but it was an impulse purchase . I paid $499+50 for 2-day shipping.

Impulses get you in trouble.....

I sell them, and many like them. I personally think they are a bit bigger than necessary though well balanced.

Thanks Sam. I've gotten myself into trouble a lot lately with impulse. Then again, it's fun to try different things and there's always ebay to somewhat recoup the losses from my mistakes. I hope I'm happy with these bars. The adjustablility swayed (pun intended) me .

The rear bar snugged up JUST enough to clear my brackets lol. Man does that make me happy... everything went right tonight.. I'll post up my thoughts of the new bar setup tomorrow. I'll be "test and tuning" tonight ;-).

That's true, I carry those. They are however, both solid. Also the front bar is 35mm, the rear is 1", which is too rear biased IMHO.

But I'm working with them on a new project that will fix both issues.
