I've been thinking about putting either Eibach or Hotchkiss sway bar and lowering springs sets on my Z but haven't really heard of anyone on here that has had experiences with Hotchkiss. Any negatives about these? Thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to help out a newb with a buying decision.

Although I've had the springs on the 3+ weeks, I have yet to get the car aligned b/c the back left springs settled 1/4-1/2" more than it should. I've been instructed by Hotchkis to swap rear springs to see if the back right become lower. Besides that, the springs are definitely liveable on the street. More firm while being less harsh. With the springs, the jittering (wiggle) in the back has become much more pronounced on med suspension hits. I'm suspicious of the bushings and tires right now.

I've also got the sways on med both front and rear. I didn't think the sway control was really enough until I took a ride in my buddy's stock Z last night and I felt a difference. Still, once I get 245/40 up front, I'm going to try full stiff up front. Rear bar delivers as promised and there's a much more neutral characteristic.

All in all, for $465 shipped for both, it's a steal.

Just out of curiousity...who did you get your set from? Has anyone else tried these. What about Cusco and Eibach? Has anyone tried either of those sway bars?

Thanks for helping a newb...
