I have the hotchkis, and like them a lot. Very little body roll and more nuetral handling after install. They are hollow tube, so they are lighter than most other aftermarket sways, but are significantly heavier than stock. They don't come with collars and you'll have to add those on your install, this will stop the sways from moving side to side.

Since telling people to run a search doesn't get very well received. Here is the original "collar" thread that brought thier use to our attention.

Also consider Cusco. Two-way adjustable, solid bars that really tighten things up in the corners. Excellent quality and performing bars. Good luck!

Where can I find hotchkis sways for $190?!?! Or... anything less than $250 for that matter?

Hotchkis are the best price on good sways though... i think i will be getting a set soon.

Does 350EVO have their sways in stock, or is there a wait on them? It seems that parts are somewhat hard to get from them, now that they have a team in the grand am series or whatever.

I got my 350EVO sways a long time ago so I am not sure about the wait now. You could always call and ask.

try taking a dab over at www.partshippers.com and take a look at the progress technology adjustable swaybars set for < $300. 350EVO and Stillen can't touch that. It's not a matter of getting what you pay for...it's getting more than what you paid for - in quality. Your wallet will be happy, and your **** will be happy...it's a win/win situation.
