Help me decide on sway bars
I know that this question has been asked many many times. I'm just seeking out peoples opinions. That's all.
I need sway bars. Correction. I want sway bars... or do I need them...
either way...
As it stands, I like the following in order.
Whiteline
Hotchkis & Eibach
Stillen (Not really.)
Any thoughts would be helpful.
I think I'm leaning towards Whiteline with the rear endlinks (why aren't the fronts made yet???) and the lateral locks.
Can anyone give me a reason to not go this route?
Thanks guys.
FYI - I have the sorta custom exhaust from FI and my wheels are finally here!!! I think Lance will be very impressed!!! lol

Sways helps tighten up the bodyroll.
I heard a lot of good things about whiteline and was interested it in myself but as you know they don't have lateral lock as the others. Under high distress or over time the sways wil shift itself out of "center" causing poor handling or driving conditions. So I decided to stick with hotchkis.

i dont have sways yet but its between hotchkis and whiteline. whitelines are solid, hotchkis are hollow. but hotckis are still really good, i doubt on our cars you will tell a difference in them.

You'll find that more people have Hotchkis than any other, probably because they were available long before the others. I have them. They are great. If I'm not mistaken they offer the stiffest front bar from the information I've seen.
Cusco also makes sway for our application but they're more expensive and I don't know of anyone that has them on the car yet to give their thoughts. They will be top quality like everything Cusco makes. In the end, any stiffer aftermarket sway bar set is drastically better than OEM. I really don't think you can go wrong with any of them. Pick whichever you can find a good price on, or whatever manufacturer you'd rather support. There is much less difference in quality and effectiveness when choosing sways than something like coilovers where there is a vast world of difference between something like a KW and any of the China/Taiwan built clone brands.

Kidding aside, I have Eibachs. Can't compare between aftermarket bars cause I only have experience with this set. Definitely an improvement over stock.
I think Eibachs have three settings in rear and two in front. I think that is more, cumulatively, than other sets.
It was first thing that I installed and never had a worry about them since.

I have Eibach, adjustable in front and rear, I think the other are only adjustable in the rear. Even for daily driving you can tell the difference in handling vs stock is much tighter. Stock to me, is very soft and loose with tons of body roll.
