i did a poll/ review awhile ago, and there were alot of good points. do a search for it, and you can see alot of good info there. Hotchkis seem very good and very inexpensive.

I'd reccommend the 350EVO sways. Solid front and rear, work perfectly with true dual exhaust, adjustable in the front and rear--REALLY improved my car's handling.
And thread moved to correct section.

The Cusco rear bar is stiffer than the Evo's rear bar at it's stiffest setting by 20%. And the EVO front bar is not stiffer than the Cusco front bar, but their close enough to call a draw. Still, I would say the EVO adjustability would be the better route. Question then moves to, is the Hotchkis bar set better than the EVO bars, less $ and lighter weight. (I could care less about bar weights myself)
Cusco
35mm front solid, not hollow
22mm rear solid, not hollow
Front sway bar has two settings of 20% and 37% stiffer
Rear sway bar is 73% stiffer then stock.

34mm front solid bar construction, not hollow.
23mm rear solid bar construction, not hollow.
Front bar
soft adjustment -8% softer
middle adjustment 11% stiffer
stiff adjustment 33% stiffer
Rear bar
soft adjustment -3% softer
middle adjustment 25% stiffer
stiff adjustment 53% stiffer

read all the numbers you want but the evo's rear bar on the stiffest setting is stiffer than the cusco's rear bar. i can really feel the difference between the two. my car is alot more tailend happy with the evo's. and yes i did have the front cusco's set on the softest setting's.

I have the NISMO and it made a dramatic difference in the car. After I opened the box I thought I was ripped off, but after a couple of good hard corners on bald tires my opinion changed. It took some of the push out of the car and made it more toward neutral. When you lose traction when accelerating through a corner you back end doesn't want to come around as much as stock with the NISMO's.

I would say!
I am not sure yet I like the price of Hotchkis but I am not sure if they are like the 350 EVO are. But if worst comes to worst I will go with the whatever is cheapest because my car will never see a track more thatn likely!
