Re: Hotchkis vs stock '01 sway bars

I spoke with the current owner and asked about wheel-hopping. He said that once he installed stickier tires (Toyo Proxes), it alleviated much of the wheel-hopping, except for launching on very grippy surfaces, where it still exists somewhat. I guess I'll go with '04 Z06 dampers first and see how they work.

I understand about wheel-hopping being strictly a function of the dampers (from reading your other excellent posts), but I also read that once more traction is acquired (i.e., wheel-hopping eliminated), the rear sway bar stiffness should be increased and the diff should be hardened (girdle) to keep rear-end stuff from breaking. Am I misinformed here?
