Thanks for addressing the convertible issue.
Purchased the Koni's, got the rears on, wait'n for the springs to install the fronts. Your hollows will be my next purchase, hopefully this will stretch into Jan. when I planned on the buy.
Thanks for passing on the savings.

Yes, all new (sizing is the same). New company making them on CNC equipment, new hardware, much better coating. As always, I try to improve...

I was looking at that too-A front with an adjustable rear. Is the differance between the two adjustable bars is one a little bigger? And 49 bucks more?

Sam, I have a few questions: 1) Do you have these in stock? 2) Does that price include shipping (like your springs)? If, not, shipping quote to 31216.
I'm also new to the suspension arena...I got my springs and Konis from you during the big Koni sale this past summer and I'm VERY happy with them! But being a novice at the suspension game, do bigger sway bars hurt drag straight line performance (IE drag strip) in any way?

The Hotchkis bar is a 24mm. Mine is a 22. I have both. I sell both, I think the 24 is too much (like I think a 24mm non adjustable is) for most uses. The idea here is tweakability not to make the rear massively stiff like a full blown drag bar.
My bar has another difference that really matters where a Watts link is used. We use special bushings for spacing that makes life a lot easier in mounting a bar with a Watts link.... Hotchkis bars don't have that, and I have on confirmed it will work with a Watts. Think it will, but have no use for that size bar to try for myself. I have a 22mm hollow on my car.

Only if you want the car to be more crisp, better balanced and more nimble.
Bars are a lot more benefit to a daily driver than a lot of things you already have on your car (or so says your signature).

You don't have my 1st gen hollow bar then (the early ones were also gray). You have a Suspension Techniques bar--which is solid and you are correct about twice as heavy.

I know that someone answered the weight question elsewhere. The bar itself weighs about the same as a standard hollow bar @ about 5 pounds. The hardware does add some weight to make it adjustable. About 10 in total.
It works fine for handling, I have one on my car but in full soft--I have in case I need more rear roll stiffness....
