Hotchkis H Sport Front and Rear Sway Bars Installed. [56k grab a snickers]
Installed the Hotchkis H Sport Front and Rear Sway Bars today (Part #22823). The Car feels much more neutral and definately less roll in corners, unfortunately I was unable to get around to installing the KW Variant 3 Coilovers, and will complete that sometime soon. The H Sport sways are definately a high quality piece that you should add to your car.

U gotta be kidding me.. How can one improperly install the rear sway bar?
Also, I just can not understand how sub frame can crack due to the rear sway bar... Not on B7A4... The end link will break before subframe does...

I guess that's why the Neuspeed bar requires a aux bracket welded in
the B5 S4 rear bar would tear the subframe from time to time and it's end links were plastic.
there's a ton of stress back there.
