To HOTCHKIS or not?
But definitely a great mod.

I got the Hotchkis Stage 1 TVS Kit and I've had it about 9 months. Like everyone else said. Night and Day. I am running Medium/Medium settings.
This thing sticks like glue.

The creaking may be due to the fact that you have to take off a rubber/plastic piece off of the stock spring and put it on the Hotchkis spring. Mine does it too, but not all the time. I could care less really.

It is a huge difference
A guy on Here Jeff_ta has them
I took a turn in my Z at 60 and the tires were making all osrts of noice, and body roll was going.
I took the turn at 85 in his, and the car made No noise at all and just flew around the turn
We set his at Full up front, and full in the back...
It was a HUGE difference!!!
VERY worth the money

Everything i read on the hotchkis sways are great, but i don't want to risk all these "sound/creaking" complaints i hear about on every thread about them
