Completed my Hotchkis (sways and springs) install this Saturday and the improvement is amazing. Definitely a mod I would recommend. Oh and I can't tell you how much easier this was on a rack as opposed to using jack stands.

Well I will hopefully be receiving mine tomorrow, and will then be putting them in. I will only have jackstands to use though.

A little confused on the install. Did you have to unhook the muffler section from the rest of the piping to remove the sway bar. Or do you just remove the bracket and pull the sway bar over the top of everything and towards the rear, once the bar is unbolted. If you did separate the exhaust sections did you have to put a new gasket in?

I pulled loose the rubber hanger and unbolted it at the rear flange then just let the exhaust hang a bit. That was enough to get the rear sway bar clear. All in all it was a very easy install and I am not the most proficient under the hood so if you have any experience you should be able to complete it in no time. Good luck !
