No complaints what so ever. Feels really good, easily to install, and the bushing mounts even have a grease fill port so you can grease it without having to drop it. Also has good adjustability.
@@michaelblacktree They are very light. Not had any problems with them being hallow, but there is a small risk of their durability because of it. I don't think It will ever be a problem though.
I compared Hotchkis with Turner here: ruclips.net/video/d0jkO0kpW4k/видео.html Being hollow and light was actually a negative for me, because running Hotchkis on full stiff still made the car a bit playful...vs Turner was enough on soft/medium to control roll couple to keep the car neutral. So it depends on other suspension components you are running. I am running flat ride (basically a much softer front spring setup), so I need to rely on a big enough swaybar to control front roll couple. If you are upgrading from stock swaybar or running massive front spring rates, Hotchkis would be a great upgrade.
Hey man just found your channel. I recently bought a 2004 E46 M3 so all these videos are super helpful. Which NASA chapter are you a part of?
What do you think of the Hotchkis sway bars so far? I'm seriously considering them.

The grease ports and adjustability are definitely pluses. Plus they're hollow, so hopefully they don't weigh a lot.

Actually, being hollow is a good thing. Most of the strength is near the outside edge.

Do you know the total weight savings? Or did I miss it somewhere? I also have an e46 M3...
Ya, It was just near the end of the video, I will often put them there in the outro. I ended up shaving off 26lb with that stuff.
@@WannabeRacer oke thanks and what in total for the entire car? Thanks for the content will help me out!
