Hotchkis Sway Bar Installed
OK, just finished installing the Hotchkiss Sway Bar. It was expensive but WOW that's the difference I was talking about! My biggest complaint on this car was that the body rolled too much when going into a turn. I'm more used to the M6 that hunkers down when going into a turn and the car feels more stuck to the road then leaning away from it. The sway bar fixed most of that. It also made the steering noticeably tighter. I don't see much more understeer so I'm not so certain I agree with those that say it increases a lot. Overall it's a fantastic mod that I would wholly reccomend.

I picked mine up at Amplified Motorsport, not expensive!! Thanks Lou!!
On my 37S, I set the rears to the middle, might try the stiffer setting next week.
Yes, what a difference!!

Bought mine from Beshoff Infiniti (uh, I think that was the one). I set it to middle setting. As an update I will say this; while steering and handling are much improved, there definitely is an increase in understeer. I guess I just didn't notice it on the first day but you will make a turn and then have to adjust to turning more as you go into the turn. Yes, I know that's the proper way a car is supposed to handle I'm just letting people know what it's like. It's still a fantastic mod and one I'd suggest to anyone. Oh, the ride difference? Not much to be honest. Certainly nothing I'd tell right off the bat. Installation cost me $140. I'd do it myself but I don't have a lift and heck 140? That's not a lot to pay for having someone else get their hands dirty.
