Default H&R or Hotchkis Sways

Guys I need some input. Do I get the H&R sway bars or the Hotchkis? I am getting ready for mods and need to know what to order. Thanks

Default I say H-Sports...

You get a stiffer set up that way and H-sports seem to the preferred product.

H-sports - 35F/29R
H&R - 32F

Default Re: I say H-Sports...

Fluff did you use wheel spacers at all? Champion is telling me the only ones to use are Audi brand and 5mm H&R says 10mm. What do you think?

Default I'm not using spacers, but if Champion MS recommends the 5mm, I would trust them..

especially if they are for their wheels.

H&R spacers are fine though, I guess it depends how much space you need.

Default H-Sport

Do you have any problems with bottoming out or steering issues with the H-sport front?

Default Have the H-Sports and love them...however...

Examine the specs. Is one set of bars bigger? If so, does that suit your needs better?

I've dealt with both companies and both offer superb service, quality and extensively test their products.

There may only be one difference worth considering: it may be possible that H&R's bars are designed to work as part of a suspension package that they sell, so keep that in mind.

And, IIRC, Hotchkis' bars are adjustable in the rear, so keep that in mind.

In other words, you can't go wrong either way.
