Got hotchkis sway bars installed at street image
i work over at whittier and was trying to find a place to install sway bars. the closest was street image and after doing some research (going through bad/good reviews) i decided to try them out. i spoke with eric and he was very accomodating as far as price and the importance that i needed to get back to work (i had the bars installed during my lunch break). when i got there they had one guy work the front bar while the other worked the rear...i got there at 12pm and they finished at 12:28...not bad! eric took it for a test drive and there seems to be no problems but assured me to come by anytime if there are any.
i was surprised with the sway bars (set to med/med). i was driving around and the ride quality FELT LIKE STOCK. no abrupt harshness...nothing. i was getting worried if they even installed the bars because of lack of feedback lol j/k...i take a turn and WOW my car handles great with my hotchkis sways and koni shocks! the car is so much more nimble! i'll take a quote from richard hammond of top gear 'i'll chicken out before the car will reach it's limits'. can't wait to do some driving this weekend.
A+ for hotchkis!

Hey CVT,
I guess it's a small world, since I grew up in Whittier most of my life. Anyways, I was looking into getting those sways as well. I don't think you metioned springs, did you get those too? I want springs, shocks and sways, however I been told more than once if I do that I have to do a camber kit as well to get the correct alignment. Do you have any issues with alignment?
