Default Anyone installed Aftermarket sway's on their Roadster

Thinking about installing hotchkis front and rear sways on my 2004 roadster during the holidays, anyone have these or other after market (Nismo, Cusco. etc) installed. Can you post your impression on ride and performance after mod?

Thanks Dunc

I have the Hotchkis sway bars on my Roadster. They were installed the same time I had the Tein Flex W/ EDFC installed. The car certainly performed a whole lot different after that but I can't say how it would have performed if I only had the Hotchkis' installed.

I drive a very twisty highway (Hwy 17) from Santa Cruz to San Jose often. The car certainly handles the curves at a higher speed now (when traffic conditions allow).

Zcool thanks for the reply, any noise issues or sway shifting to one side and not returning to position. (Maybe a grease or dirt problem)

I installed the Nismo sways about a month ago. I really didn't notice that much difference. However, today I finally got the S-tune suspension and LMGT4s installed, and NOW my Z feels like its on RAILS!!!! Don't know if it is just the suspension or a combination, but that combo is AWESOME.

One big thumbs up!

Default Settings on Hotchkis sways

One last question what are the front and rear settings your running on the Hotchkis sways ? I was thinking of going medium & medium.
