Default Anybody familar with Hotchkis tuning?

<center><img src="http://www.h-sport.com/images/parts/audi/S4-sway-bar.jpg"></center><p>I was planning on putting the Nuespeed sway bar in my car till I heard about these guys. Obviously no one is officially running them because they officially go on sale this week.

looking at the picture I can see they aren't mandrel bent so they don't look quite as nice, but that's not that big of a deal to me. But the crimping of the tube will compromise some of the tube wall strength, hence potentially effecting the rigidity, It might not be that big of a deal but I wouldn't mind hearing some of your thoughts on this. TIA

Default Very familiar...

They are a big name in the US car/truck world. They do fine work. Mandrel bending is aesthetic w. sways. As WYSIWY points out, the metal, diameters, and thickness are all greater variables.
