I noticed that the specs on the hotchkis sway bars changed. They used to be

stiffness: 9-32-63 / 54-92-146%

now it is

stifness: 22-48-82-129 / 80 - 125 - 185


did they get stiffer, or did they just change their numbers for some reason?

Sorry for the stupid question, was just curious

 

They changed the location of the mounting holes to leverage more bar strength, hence the change in number's. Honestly, unless your running in B-stock do not buy a bar based on numbers. But a adjustable bar setup that have the collar system you like from a brand name you trust that sells at a price point you can justify.

 

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I just bought the new 4-way Hotchkis sway bars. What is the Med/Med setting on the 3-way equal to on the new 4-way?

I noticed that number-wise there is no direct translation. However the closest would indicate that

"stiffness: 9-32-63 / 54-92-146%

should equal

stiffness: 22-48-82-129 / 80-125-185"

Overall, the numbers increase for both the front and back. Is it really a change in feel or just marketing?
