hmm thanks for the awesome information guys I shoulda been more clear on how much of the bodyroll I wanted to be gone. As long as my bodyroll is as close as to when I was stock I'm happy. If it has less bodyroll than stock, then all the better .

Jid2: What's weird is that I can feel a little more bodyroll from when I was stock. As long as I can get my car to feel more close to stock or better (bodyroll wise) I'm happy. So if these rear sway bars get my car to feel almost like stock or better then there are no more worries here.

Thanks for the help again guys

They actually ride pretty well and with bilsteins they ride better than the lame *** KYBs with hotchkis springs.
You have to keep in mind that the spring rate is how many lbs it take to compress the spring and inch. Say you have a 300lb spring, it takes 300lbs to compress the first inch, then for the second inch it takes 600lbs of force. How much force it take for that first inch of compression is determined by the spring preload. If the spring has dead coils (ie tightly wound coils that touch each other that keep the spring centered during droop, but don't do anything when it's compressed) and is setup correctly it can have little preload, with a high spring rate, and still ride decently.

You guys that think that real *PROPERLY SETUP* coilovers ride harsh should go ride in a car setup by Robi or Mueller. You would be very suprised to find out their "super stiff" cars probably ride better than your current setup.

 

I have both hotchkis springs and sway bar and I am happy. The bump stops are shorter so it seems to have good suspension travel. Not much body role.

 

so is your current bodyroll close to stock or better than stock? and im assuming you have the hotchkis sway bar?

 

It is the closest to stock I have experienced with springs. Body role is very close to stock if not a little less. Definitely try a hotchkis sway bar. If you still don't like it, start looking for some coilovers.

 

I would trust the Hotchkis product. They are the only company I know of that tested their springs/sway bar combination and got an improved slalom and lap time. Hotchkis is a great company and I would surely say to get the sway bar. Set it to the middle setting and see how you like it then.. Good Luck.

 

Put the hotchkiss adjustable rear sway bar it is the ****, makes the car 80% more stiffer in corners

 

Ok will do Thanks for the info guys, I'll do an update when I get it ordered and installed.

 

just get coilovers

 

coilovers aren't worth it unless you track your car.

 

i dont track my car i love them, i dont have the bet pair in the world but i love the ride
tanabe sustec pro 2 the cost me 850 dollars u can lower the car as much as u want and still have the stock feel and keep supesion travel even know u a much lower, i drive my car evey day i love them
