Just installed new Hotchkis rear springs and sway bar this morning..My car did'nt have a sway bar before, so I have nothing to compare the ride to in that repect..But this thing rides and corners like a dream now..Will be putting the front springs in next week and new end links and a brand new PAE Performance 455 back by a 400 tranny..I just can't believe the differance new rear springs and swaybar made... :Brow:
Did the new springs lower the car much? Their site says about 1". Just curious if it will create any rubbing issues. What size tires and wheels do you run?
Just be careful with spirited driving, after adding just a big rear bar. You need a balanced pair to work properly. Going big on just the rear will make the car 'tail happy'. You should go up a size on the front to balance it out. If you want oversteer, use a big rear bar. If you want understeer, use a big front bar. Transforms the cars handling though. Makes it much more fun to drive.
Tire size is 215-70-15 t/a's..sway bar is from a rust bucket gs I had..A little por-15 and it looked good as new..I got new end links for the front sway..Going to install them next week along with new springs..ride highth is about the same..Maybe a little lower..No clearance issues..
