    Sway Bar Replacement? What Did You Choose?

    During my alignment yesterday, the mechanic called me to inform me that the front PS sway bar link is failing (which explains the suspension 'clunk' on bumps, I guess). I'm thinking now would be a good time to replace the FSB and links. My car has 76k miles, so I think I have a little time left before I replace the shocks and struts. I'm leaning towards UUC or Hotchkiss. Any thoughts?

    Hotchkiss all the way. I've had mine for a while now and couldn't be happier.

    Dang, wish I had the funds to change a sway bar when a link failed..

    I'd get the Hotchkis.

    I went with the H&R 30 mm m3 bar. It fits and provides a lot of roll resistance.

    IMO 30mm isn't recommended for DD use. That's way too stiff for Non-M chassis

    I guess, I don't know what OEM spec is. Anything from 25-27 should be fine

    Just for reference. M cars aftermarket sways are 27mm.
