I have only the Hotchkis front sway bar, but yes, I do have noise coming from the front (bar/endlinks) at slow speeds on bumpy roads. Whether it is flex or hitting the LCAs or... I do not know. It functions rather well for autocross which is why I bought it and the noise does not concern me too much.

I'm on stock springs with Koni inserts and I have the stock endlinks. Are you running shortened endlinks or stock endlinks?

If anyone is interested, I will soon have a set of OEM wheels with 215/45/17 Dunlop ZIIs (~20 autocrosses and less than 2k miles) AND the Hotchkis front bar for sale/trade in a couple weeks? I'll post in the for sale thread when ready, but just giving a heads up for any interest. Both are great for autocross and/or track days depending on your skill level and class, but I'm going with a "wackier" set-up to better suit my driving style.

I have a Hotchkiss bar with Whiteline links. No noise.

I'm confident the shorter endlinks solve the noise "problem." You're much lower than me too. I just did not want to stiffen the front end any more for my setup by using shorter links. If you're willing to share, what setting do you run your sway bar? You have the matching rear bar too?

I've stuck with full soft setting for the whole season. I'm going to run a slightly smaller adjustable front bar next season.

interesting. ive got hotchkis front and rear, using the endlinks that came with the sways for the rear. coilovers came with shortened endlinks for the front. i'm thinking that because of my height, and being on the soft setting, there just isnt room for the rod ends to twist around without hitting the LCA. theyre as short as they can get at this point.

I have a 16mm Whiteline rear bar as well. Both are on the softest setting.

BoostinIX · 10-01-2013, 11:45 AM

Forget the PC's, I want that setup. That is epic.

Also need 4 more people to fill the spaces

For real though, Orb, Kanun, anyone else...let's get some gaming on. The multiplayer bug is biting.

OrbitalEllipses · 10-01-2013, 12:10 PM

I've been meaning to build a new rig. Probably sometime around March or April I'll have the funds.

kanundrum · 10-01-2013, 12:11 PM
