Default hotchkis suspension

How good are there sway bars and coilovers? Is there any brands that make these products significantly better?

I'm also interested in this. I like the idea of their fully matched handling "kits" which include matched components, but I've never heard anything about them.

I first heard of Hotchkis from the their Toyota Celica kit where they apparently helped set some SCC (Sport Compact Car) slalom record.

The 350z is a very nice package which provide adjustability and improved ride (firm without being harsh). They seem to match the sub-par shocks surprisingly well.

I found med front and rear bar settings with equal front/rear pressure to be a very nice balance with the OEM stagger and tires. Now with 245/40s all round, the balance has shifted enough to run full stiff up front with med rear. The best part is that not only are they effective, but they're cheap.
