I have the Hotckis sway bars, and the TRD strut tower brace. My Hotchkis rear sway bar increased my spring rate by 200 lbs. Makes it a lot stiffer, but allows me to keep from bottoming or scraping when I am loaded down with tools and equipment for my installations. My K-Sport coilovers are at the middle setting, then 2 more clicks to the soft direction. Generally pretty happy with it. Handles like crazy in the corners. A bit stiff when the road gets rough. All in all, pretty satisfied, until I blew the right front shock.
Will post pix tonight or tomorrow. |

If you didnt want adjustability then you should have bought springs.
That is the key to this. I messed with mine for a couple days and then it is golden. I run mine alittle on the softer side as well. Mine rides better then most springs. |
