styleandspeed Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Hotchkis is going to be a bit better, and they come as a set for about $500. You can get them from Tbyrne Hellwig isn't bad, but is a solid bar instead of hollow, and costs around $150 for just the rear. you can get them from JCWhitney or summit.

quickmedic1 Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Hellwigs rear bar also faces backwards for some reason. I have the Hotchkis set and it did make a big difference if you like fast corners. Check my web page for some pics. On a group purchase from Tbryne they were $449. shipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I have the Hellwig rear sway bar. I found the hardware that mounts it to the axle to be a bit of a problem. The brackets start to spread as you tighten them up . Also the link from the bar to the frame hits the exhaust pipe a bit. On the plus side, it does help in the cornering.

slj Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Another vote for hotchkis. Self installed in 3 hours, and now my concern is on the tires, not the body roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styleandspeed Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 The stock sway bar on the tahoes mounts backwards. I figure if GM did it, then it can't be that bad. Dcairns is the 2nd person that I have heard with problems hitting exhaust over bumps, and the brackets spreading apart. You could just weld a small piece of steel on each side of the bracket, and that would fix at least one problem. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
