After seeing how the red evo looks w/ hotchkis springs I'm definitely getting a set!
Anyone have the hotchkis rear swaybar? If so how about a review?

Tak555 sorry about that FedEx messup or us? If you could please email me the right addy so i can check our system.

Sway bar is AWESOME and needs to go on any spring or coilover suspension combo. It basically removes the understeer.

Speed bumps it depends on how high they are. it only lowers the car about an inch to and inch and a half not to low unless you live in some serious mountains.

PS just got 20 more sets in stock so come and get them.

Greg

It's easy to install. I had it installed and labor was 35 dollars to give you an idea of difficulty. I should have just done it myself.

For those that have these springs, what is your alignment setup like? Stock settings?

Make sure you have both wheels off the ground, don't want to put a load on one side when installing any suspension parts.
