Has anyone out on the JHM rear sway bars?
Opininons, pros, cons pls?
I think they use hotchkis!
They use Hotchkis and they are definitely awesome. I put them on my B6 S4 and consider them one of the better “bang for your buck” parts.
Yep i have front n hear! And i love them! Hotchiks all the way!
I wonder if they would improve flattening out on air suspension which already is using sensors to determine height??
Both front and rear on a RS4?
Thought that rear sway bar is to compensate car;s tendency to understeer. By also using the front, one mititgates the use oft eh rear…
Am I missing sth here?
yep i have front n rear , im not sure having the font will do anything negative to the rear ones,the front ones being thicker then stock ones u def feel a bit more like race car, on turns and stuff!
Pick up the front bar if you’re serious about tracking/auto-x and want to get rid of the corner-entry roll that unsettles the car. On track I ran the 35mm front bar and the 29mm rear bar on full stiff.
On the street, the OEM front bar 29mm rear on the soft setting is a great setup that will compliment your aftermarket coilovers. If you don’t want the rear end locked down so much, or are running stock suspension, the 24mm bar is pretty fantastic as well…great to balance out a street car and keep the stress off the rear end links.
…just my $.02
I have the stock suspension…so if i understand corrdtly the JHM rear bar set at 24mm woukd do the trick for spirited road driving?
I also have the Front and Rear RS4 Hotchkiss sways and that was one of the most noticeable mods i did. really made the car feel nice and tight.
Add another satisfied Hotchkis F+R RS4 set up. Really great handling upgrade for the money.
If you’re looking for just that occasional spirited driving and to dial out a bit of understeer, then you should be fine with just 034MS one. Hotchkis is next step up. Their rear sway bar is more aggressive than that of 034MS.
I have just the rear Hotchkis RS4 sway bar with better end links front and rear. It is a nice rear bar that makes a big difference.
I didn’t want the front bar because I wanted to get the back end to come out more.
Woulnt the blower with 4:1 and LSD help do that ;D
They help but I like to over do things. You know if one is good then two or more must be better.
