That's pretty sweet, it looks like their bushings even have grease ports on them

They do have grease fittings. And the set comes with the Hotckiss endlinks also so its really a pretty good deal for the money.

bummer on the motor
get that nucca up and runnin, I wanna know about this sway set.
I might just have to get it, cause regaurdless of my rear sway I'll end up buying those endlinks anyway.
And I guess why not on the front sway bar.

I am running a cusco 25mm solid bar in the rear and a 03 em2 15.9 hollow front bar....great set up but will want stiffer than stock springs to run them. One thing you guys need to remember, springs and dampers are much more important than sways. Sways are for fine tuning. Springs and dampers really set how the suspension will work......and the grip of your tires set how stiff you spring the car.....:mcool:

I installed my Endlinks from Hotchkis and I must say, quality is superb

Well you know what I'm running. I bought these almost as much for the fact that they are adjustable as for the size of the bars themselves. Gives me an easy way to adjust the balance of the car without having to order new springs.

I'm running Falken RT615's for right now and I'm going to keep running them until they wear out. Once they do I'm looking at Toyo RA-1's probably in 225/45/16's but possibly in 235/40/17. I'll have to see whats available in what price.

i wonder if they're willing to sell just the rear sway. i would like to upgrade from my current cusco 25mm.
