Received my H-sport swaybars today. I was hoping that they would be the dark blue they
 
show in they're add. Nope, they're light blue and I'm thinking about repowdercoating them. What do you guys think? Yes, No and what color if yes? Should I go stealth and paint they black or something bold?

chrome em

Edd W 06-10-2003 04:47 AM

Always go black, they look like stock then so no worries when you sell the car.

Kgnast-Nemo4.2 06-10-2003 04:51 AM

good point
 
didn't think it about it in that way.

Ming 2.7T 06-10-2003 05:10 AM

Stock, geez, have you seen the size of them!!!! : )))
 
drkangels A6 has them and they look like sway bars for a caterpillar tractor!!!!! A hummer could use em!! LOL
But ya your right black would at least not draw the eye to that area.

2.7tDallas 06-10-2003 05:15 AM

I'm painting mine black. what should I use?

Singletrack 06-10-2003 06:24 AM

Candy Red is PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMP!

Potomac-Greg 06-10-2003 06:47 AM

I don't see why you would need any exotic paint. Its not high-temp or wear.
 
I would just get Rustoleum, possibly flat or semi-gloss.

DWP 06-10-2003 06:58 AM

Did you get 'em too? I'm thinking about them myself.

2.7Twin 06-10-2003 07:15 AM

They are huge! Couldn't believe the size of the front when I opened the box. Wow. ;-)

2.7tDallas 06-10-2003 07:16 AM

Happens to me on dates all the time. I get the same reaction ;-)

2.7Twin 06-10-2003 07:19 AM

Yes, I could see them mentioning your ego! *in best girly vioce* Man, it's huge Dallas! ;-)

2.7Twin 06-10-2003 07:20 AM

Powdercoat, much tougher.

allroad'Ed now 06-10-2003 07:23 AM

Light blue is the standard Hotchkiss color. Go black for stealth...
 
try an epoxy paint so it is more durable.

Maybe we need to recommend to Hotchkiss that they paint them all black for AoA purposes.

2.7Twin 06-10-2003 07:37 AM

What's strange is their ad states and shows dark blue. Would have made it easier!
 
Oh well $10 to powdercoat. Seems black is the going preference.

Dan_L 06-10-2003 08:49 AM

I'm sure you were kidding, but as a warning NEVER chrome suspension components
 
They will lose thier temper and crack very quickly. Some people have chromed A-Arms on older cars and they break within 1 month of normal service.

2.7tDallas 06-10-2003 09:08 AM

huge and out of control. Chicks dig that though. Nice guys finish last

Ming 2.7T 06-10-2003 09:32 AM

But all those fillys said you were a "Shorthorn"!!!! LOL

Ming 2.7T 06-10-2003 09:36 AM

I may get them, but will force Podenum to give me a deal!!!! : )
 
Might do it , but I have another project in mind right now. Starts with a spare 5HP19 thingy ma bob!!!!!
ALso need to have my oil cooler mounted. ANd the custom DP's from Miltek that Phil Miltek is doing right now.
I will buzz you on the sway bar purchase when it happens. Podendum has my rotors still he used for the WIlwood brakes system, so maybe I can get him to get us some nice big ol blue sways.

2.7tDallas 06-10-2003 09:56 AM

ha! Little chance of that. Mostly it is "you want me to put that thing where??"

Ming 2.7T 06-10-2003 10:45 AM

Ya, you did have a big nose!!!! Is that why they say " Lie to Dallas, lie to me!!"

2.7tDallas 06-10-2003 10:46 AM

Big nose? me?

Ming 2.7T 06-10-2003 10:57 AM

Just like Pinnochio!!! Lie to me Dallas!! Every time ya lie it gets longer
 
Just kidding . Hope you know I am kidding!! When you back out here? We may have more stuff to show you.

2.7tDallas 06-10-2003 11:01 AM

Probably in the next 2-3 months. September for sure
 
PLease please don't show me anything esle! That night is going to end up costing me $2k

UncleNoName 06-10-2003 12:33 PM

Can't see them unless on the rack anyway...

2.7tDallas 06-10-2003 12:35 PM

Not true! Just get a flashlight and shine it through the front wheel
