Hotchkis sway (anti roll) bars

Post by QuantumJohn » Fri Sep 21, 2007 9:09 am

Has anyone fitted any of the Hotchkis products?

http://www.hotchkis.net/products.php?categoryId=423

They seem to be the only people that make bigger arbs for the allroad and most of the guys in the states on audiworld rave about them.

Cheers,
John

Or hotlicks.... Either way, I'd be interested in a set of RS6 ones, however with the US only having the saloon, I wonder if they would fit an Avant....?

Thanks Woody - I've just looked at Etka, and it does only list one part.

I'd be quite interested in this as well to hopefully compliment the Bilsteins I've got fitted. I'm going to drop them an email regarding shipping costs etc.

Has anyone come across any reviews (good or bad) on this product in particular to the RS6?

Having looked at my rear ARB, I'd say that their's has too many bends in to seem right.... Can you also check the fitment for the avant?

Rich,
Try a search on the audiworld forums. This is where I found out about them.

I have a set on the 300C SRT-8 and 06 Mustang and they made the car better, fantastic product, excellent components and instructions.

Worth the money. (for the 300C anyway)
