UPDATE on F & R sway bars! - Page 3

carguy55 · 09-26-2021, 04:11 PM

Been running Hotchkis front and BMR rear this year and they're working great

Ran my first autocross yesterday in a Camaro, not my first event by a long shot.....definitely need an upgrade in Sway Bar area. Running in FS so I can only change one.

Best Suggestions? All I can find are bars for the SS and ZL1, nothing listed for the RS V6

Why aren't you guys running the Hotchkis bars front AND rear?

Old thread I know, but has some of the best data. Here's an updated chart with AFE data. All specs from mfg run through the same calculator. Specific rates will differ slightly from BMRs own calcs. "Stock" is zl1 FE4

Where is everyone getting the Hotchkis bar at? I have gone to the Hotchkis website and can't find anything about it even existing. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

Member Slurpee found a vender willing to sell one. ETA February 2025 but no promises. It’s pretty crazy.

I had ordered mine from Summit around Thanksgiving of 2022. It finally showed up September of last year. All I can say is be patient

So I've been doing some digging and now all of the sudden I can find these at a couple different places buuuut no one has them in stock. I finally got a decent answer from JEGS though. He said that Hotchkis is having major internal problem and major supplier problems right now and for a little while now so everything from them is getting back ordered unless these places had it in stock already. So that sucks, but at least I have to spring to really need a bar. So I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed.
