gotta disagree with those rates, no way is there that much of a % change between adjustment holes

and the Progress Tech bars can be had for under $290 shipped ...

I'm considering going from AP to the Progress Tech bars. I'm just posting this up to offer drivers an other option. Plus, Hotchkis has a good name.

Hotchkis is regarded well. Glad to see them come out with some bars for our cars.

best thing about progress is the price tag

I had added Hotchkis bard to my '05 STi. They worked well. I never played around with the adjustments, so I can't comment on that part.

hotchkis does make good products, i almost bought an STI before and would have got hotchkis sways too probably. but progress makes good products as well and the price is a good amount lower

Hotchkis was recommended to me by Jon, the owner of JIC magic. He did a test for a magazine and knocked off 2 seconds on a test course. I have mounted the front bar with AP linkends this weekend. I will mount the rear bar when I receive the awr link ends. I will test them out on the skid pad at the Rotary exposition at Summit Point this Friday.

by the way, can AP endlinks be used on any other aftermarketing sway bars.....beside racing beat i meant(i know i have to drill the holes bigger on the arm to fit)

If that's the case I'd stay away from them as much as possible, JIC magic does not know how to build a good part for crap IMO

The AP links do not require drilling the arms.
I am very happy with the hotchkis bars. I started out with both bars on the softest setting. I did a skid pad session last Friday and then changed the rear bar to the middle hole and retested on Saturday with better results

a bit cheaper than vivid sells em for.

jscspeed is a great outfit. they're right down the road from me. they sponsor some philly region autox drivers too. ask for justin stone and tell him doug sent you. :)

390% stiffer than stock is the softest setting for the rear?????:confused: :eek:

I am running Hotchkis sways on my Z and they are a great product, but that is crazy stiff. I guess Hotchkis knows what they are doing.:dunno:

I'd like to hear a review though....

K, i know AP doesnt, RB does.....
can the endlinks fit every aftermarketing sways????????no one has answered my question.....please
