Hotchkis or Cobb???

[lancerdood]

So....I already purchased the Cobb springs for my car and now I want to get the sway bars as well.....I've seen some posts stating Hotchkis are better or stiffer than Cobb....they both advertise 35% stiffer than stock.

Can anyone recommend 1 over the other?? ....and reasons why??

Thanks!!

Search, someone is running a voting thread on which one is better AND it is established that Hotchkis makes cobb sway bars.

Ahhhh....interesting that Hotchkis makes Cobb.

THanks!!

the hotchkis and cobb fsb's are the same, the rsb on the cobb is not as stiff as the hotchkis rsb. something like 90% vs. 140% stiffer...

There are a few people who have just installed the rear Cobb bar with good results. It sounds like the FSB is a lot of ass pain to install, so it's up to you if you think it'd be worth the install.

Ya....I'm just going with the Cobb springs front/back and the Cobb RSB.....don't think the front one is as important as the rear and it's alot of additional money.

Going to Disneyland next week and think I will buy a radar detector instead.....I can't afford any more tickets in my car.....3 in the past 9 months is no bueno

Hotch and Cobb both say 35% stiffer.....not sure how the one guy got 125% stiffer.....sounds good, but not buying it.

Thanks for the input.

I'm happy with just the rear Cobb bar. Stiffer isn't always better

Crap. I tried to move this to the MS3 suspension sub-forum, but somehow it ended up here. I'll try to get it fixed.
