What about Hotchkis? 3 way adjustable and hollow, so they are lighter than the solid bars. 33mm front / 21mm rear. About $350 from Tirerack. I just ordered them and had them on a GTI prior. Plus they have zerk fittings!!

I went with the tanabe (even though i don't even know how to pronounce that) over the Eibach's. After vigorous Research, LOL, I couldn't find much of a difference, and i could get the Tanabe's a tad bit cheaper.. so i decided.. Why not?.. and went with it.

I pronounce it different every time I say it to keep the other person guessing as well.

Thanks. I know what I'm getting. I have been looking at that thread then forgot all about it.
When I got my Tanabe springs I seen there sway bars in there booklet and was like, huh. Guess I could get them.
But now that you brought that thread back up, I recall reading good stuff about Progress Technology bars. I'm going with Progress Technology bars.
