Question on Sway bar and lowering coilover - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi all,

Imma thinking to purchase the hotchkis sway bars, but worry that the sway bars may eventually hit the ground because I have lowered my car with the new sets of tires and coilover.

My current setting: front 225/40/18 Rear 255/40/18

need some technical feedback on that loll thanks all

I have not lowered at all, but I can confirm the hotchkis sway bars are excellent, and far from the ground. Enjoy!

If your swaybars ever hit the ground, you've made a huge mistake.

Yep, it should be fine. If it's too low you're going to grind on the frame

Here's a quick blurry phone pic of the rears (Not lowered and with Hotchkis sways)
