    Hotchkis sway bars on a stock suspension

    I was wondering if anybody has the hotchkis sway bars with a stock suspension. I am looking to find out what I will feel different with this setup.

    Thanks,
    Eric

    Do it !!! One of the best mods going. The ride will be same if you only do sways, but the cornering will be significantly better.

    I didn't notice much difference between stock and hotchkis sways.
    On twisty roads driving on the edge, you will notice a little difference.
    Other than that, I never noticed any difference.

    Is there much degradation in ride quality? I'm thinking of adding them to my SRT but don't want to significantly degrade the ride quality.

    I've noticed little to no difference in ride quality, just as bumpy as it was before in the Charger, but gotta say I OWN curves and turns now.

    Corners a lot flatter, but at least the front SRT struts part# 4854576AB FA will take out the float and make her hug the road. Both are excellent mods. I got struts from my Dodge dealer $138 ea. They go together like pie and icecream.

    i say do it ,hardest part is droping the rear axle . but while you have the rear end loose you might as well throw a set of springs in .

    For those who had a shop install the bars, how many hours labor did they need? (not including alignment, which I'm going to end up doing anyway)

    Thanks!
