Default Looking for new sway bars

Hey folks,

I'm selling my current sway bar setup (progress) because it hits the top of my greddy evo2 exhaust system. I'm looking for a setup that will fit around my exhaust, does anyone have sway bars and the greddy evo2 exhaust system?

Thanks
Arin

I think the Cusco will give you less roll than the 350evo. Also don't know about prices but 350evo stuff are kinda pricey.

Can't speak for the 350evo bars but the Cuscos are excellent.

I dont think you can even get the 350Evo ones anymore (not 100% sure but look into it)

I hear good things about Cusco, although I have the progress. I installed the front and was very happy with that, but went to install the rear and it's a pain in the ***, I think im gonna have to drop the whole exhaust unless someone knows how to get around that?

Anyways you cant go wrong with Cusco, but they are on the pricy side, at least to me.

Well hotchkis is more affordable, but cusco is more hardcore. The front only has two settings, and the rear has no settings. I think the cusco's are more for people who will use the sway bars for what they are intended for, and the hotchkis is more of a daily drive/Some track events folks.

biggest difference is that Hotchkis is hollow, Cusco is solid. I personally prefer a heavy, solid bar, but both are good units. I've not found the need for anything adjustable. My Cusco front is set to the stiffer setting, and the Cusco rear is perfect as it is. Plus, they are silent

I have called 350evo 4 times in the past month and left 3 messages/emails over last 2 months with no response. So in my opinion, that makes them unavailable or unwilling to make an effort to sell them.

That means only two things; 1) They are ignoring you, or 2) They dont make the sway bars. lol

I think 2 sounds more appropriate. Cusco it is!

Do you think progressive bars would have any problems with a stock exhaust?

I'd go with cusco or 350 evo as well, but for price, I'd also consider the stillen sway bars.
