Hotchkis or Progress sway bars

[kjac081]

Ive done alot of searching, but cant find what im looking for. Which is better and why? I heard that the Progress finish is crappy but it comes with a tie bar. I also heard that Hotchkis dont need a tie bar cause the sway bar is better. Should the front and rears be replaced, or just the rear? Also, what about endlinks? Thanks

new endlinks are a must, i have hotchkis front and rear, i'm so happy with it

i think hotchkis is better because its bigger and even size all around. Progress has a bigger front than rear, which might induce more understeer.

I only have had teh car for a month, ad already can tell that when I take a fast corner, that it seems to want to travel in a straight line, rather than follow the front tires and turn sharply. Is this what you call understeer? I just drive to work and stuff, I may autoX sometime this summer, but nothing professional. The Hotchkis may be better for just street use? What about that lower tie bar that comes with the Progress? The Type-s already has one, why replace it?

I know what u mean about traveling in a straight line :( Get the sways. That is the first mod i will do to my car before i start pushing it again. I like the hotchkins because it is a whole system with endlinks. I have heard of the stock endlinks breaking with the progress bars

I have progress all around and I would disagree on some points and also agree on some points. Here's what I think:

1. Finish is definitely shitty on Progress
2. Front bar is larger but i get no understeer. It accelerates through the turns very nice. I have never driven a Hotchkiss setup to compare.
3. I have broken 1 endlink in the rear. Not real sure if I did it on a really hard turn or not.

Overall, the Progress setup is good for the money and I am very satisified.

Hotchkis bars and endlinks all the way. My car drives like its on rails without being lowered.

anyone has experience of Hotchkis front sway bar(25.4mm) and progress rear sway bar (24mm).

I thought the progress came with end-links?

straight from crsx store.... "24mm adjustable with reinforcement brace, and endlinks.

The adjustable progress sway does, not the 22mm...
