Hotchkis or Hellwig Front Sway Bar?

I have been researching sway bars for my 69 Cuda. It does not have one now or mounting tabs.

The two sway bars in the title seem to be the best choices so far.

The Hellwig 5906 is about $100 more than Hotchkis and is 1 1/8 diameter Solid.

The Hotchkis equivalent is 1 1/2 hollow and looks to require some welding which is not an issue for me.

I am not a real aggressive driver, but I would like it to handle better.

Which one of these is the choice? Pros, Cons? I have looked through a lot of threads and haven’t found much in the way of comparisons.


I would also like to do shocks, Steer & Gear type power steering upgrade and adjustable upper control arms, Suggestions on these are also welcome. I am not a “got to have the last 10%” guy. I want good value for my money
I put a Helwig bar onto my 70 Duster after I replaced the lower control arms with QA1's. Was not happy with how the mounted sway bar was so low. The OE bar on the other hand tucked up nicely. Ended up taking the bar off because it did not give me much ground clearance. Don't know how the Hotchkis would mount.
