Hotchkis TVS for A-Body's!

Didn't go looking on their website, but found this there on a google search.

Stiffness of a hollow swaybare really depends on the wall thickness. No idea what wall the swaybars in this kit are.

BTW, never bought anything from them, don't plan on it in the near future (no money to spend), not defending their kit, just tossing a thought out.

I've got a Hollow 1 1/4" sway bar from Hellwig on my car now. I had a 1 1/8" solid Addco bar on before. The hollow 1 1/4 IS stiffer.

And the hollow 1 1/4 bar weighs 8 3/4 lbs. and the addco 1 1/8" solid weighs 13 1/2 lbs. The hollow 1 1/8' bar weighs 7 3/4 lbs.

So running a hollow 1 1/8" will save you 5 3/4 lbs from a roughly equivalent solid bar. About half the weight savings from running a $100+ big block water pump housing.
