hotchkis front sway + bumps = broken endlinks?
#21
Thanx I think that I will go with just the rear. The roads in Oakland are not that great anyway. And less money.
Also would you guys recommend getting the Progress or the TRD and if I get the Progress would you still recommend getting the dezod end links anyway. I'm assuming I will need to get them for the TRD cuz stock will break?

i have the trd rear sway
no such thing as the endlinks breaking for the TRD cause they stiffness isn't that much
i can def understand why hotchkis would need new beefier endlinks cause it is so dayum stiff
people recommend progress cause its stiffer than TRD but not as stiff as hotchkis, so it depends how hard you want it...

One Question To You That Had The Endlinks Break. Does The Rear Sway Bar Start Hittin the Body When The Endlinks Break.? I Have Raceland Coils Maxxed And Hotchkis Rear Sway,Stock Endlinks..I'm Hearing A Clunk Sound And Seen That The End Of The Sway Bar Hit The Body of The Car Right Next To Where The Coil Bolts up..What Can It Be.?

a) If you're going to just be daily driving and an occasional autocross, stick with just the rear bar. No need to go all out with front and rear if you don't need them.
b) Hotchkis set does NOT come with any endlinks. The Progress rear bar is the only one that comes with new endlinks.
c) You cannot buy just the Hotchkis rear. And you probably shouldn't anyway. It is made to work with the front. Using just the rear with the front has the potential to cause some unsafe driving dynamics.

1) I agree that upgrading the front bar is unnecessary
3) I bought the Hotchkis rear alone about a year and a half ago. I strongly recommend it. In fact, I have disconnected my front sway bar. I daily drive it, and autocross it regularly.
Disclaimer: I didn't disconnect the front swaybar with stock suspension. I use 400lb front and 700lb rear with Koni yellows. The only time I ever had a problem was hard cornering while dropping off. I hit the bump stops. They never did that with the course again, and agreed to never do it again.
As for breaking swaybar endlinks, I'm surprised. I raced my tC for most of a season with the only mods being the Hotchkis rear sway bar, and Dunlop Star Spec tires. The way I was three-wheeling, I expected to break an endlink.
Now that my spring rates are much higher, the springs are helping the swaybars more, and putting less stress on the endlinks.
