Anyone using Hotchkis swaybars?

I'm really interested in making my truck handle better. I know it's still a truck and it will never really handle like a sports car, but it would fun to give them a good run on an autocross or on the dragon. Hotchkis has some pretty trick swaybar setups that seem to look better designed than the factory style stuff. Their rear bar looks much better than most aftermarket bars. The only thing I'm worried about is the rear bar may interfere with my ECE Super Track bar since it mounts by the trailing arm instead of the top of the gear housing.

Has anyone got one? Care to elaborate?

Re: Anyone using Hotchkis swaybars?

I dont have Hotchkis but I have the ones from CPP, since I replaced my rear trailing arms for the tubular one I had to take my rear sway bar off as it is not needed. With the sway bars from CPP it was 100% better specially at high speed ripping thru turns..
