Hotchkis Tuning Products *NEW and for us*

Nobody has really talked about the Hotchkis series of products for the RSX. Their sway bars will fit our cars. Check it out: Click Me! They're 1" in diameter and they're hollow. That's 25.4mm (which is thicker than the 22mm Progress one). It's almost half as light and it's probably as stiff since the stiffness basically depends on the diameter of the bar and how much material (wall thickness) it has. The inner material doesn't bend when the bar bends, so it doesn't have as much impact on bar stiffness as the outside material.

They have a nice looking rear camber kit out for our cars too. Hopefully it won't cost as much as the one from SPC, then it would be a good buy. Here's a pic...



Also, something they're working on. "Sport Camber Plates" for the front of the car. Looks interesting. I don't know how it works exactly, but I guess it allows camber adjustment? Here's a pic...

Tie Bars that work and reenforce around the bushing u-bolt bolts.

Like the Progress Sway/Tie Combo. Search for my thread on the progress bar for pics.

25.4 MM is WAY too thick for a civic IMO. The progress bar is just fine and comes with the tie bar (which you definitely need). But I"m biased because I own it. : )
