Re: Hotchkis vs stock '01 sway bars

For street applications the oriiginal Pfadt bar might be more appropriate...what they call their Street Bar rather than the Pfatty bar.

IF you have wheel hop it is NOT a function of the sway bars therefore sway bars can not tune out wheel hop. Wheel Hop is simply a function of rear shock rebound.

I would first try '04 Z06 shocks first for a street application. If your HP & Torque still overpower them and produce wheel hop then Penske DA's are in order.

JRZ & Moton DA's are slightly more expensive than the Penske DA's...like a grand more. Besides JRZ and Moton while comparative in performance are built in Belgium & the Netherlands, respectively and therefore sometimes have a parts supply problem, despite having American subsiduaries. Penske's are American built and the support is fantastic. Mallett Cars Ltd. have the best installation for the Penske's

QA-1'a are older technology and are good only for drag cars. I do not recommend them and I won't use them on my car. Although touted as adjustable I do not think the Rebound & Bump are independantly adjustable....which makes them useless in my mind.
