Swaybars for C7Z51 - Hotchkis or LG?
Pfadt/AFE are orange so they're out
Hotchkis are 35% stiffer and have an adjustable rear bar; fixed front.
LG is adjustable front, fixed rear and say they're 40% stiffer.
My experience is a fixed rear bar can be an issue. If the car is tail happy you have no options.
Anyone use either?
EDIT - Pfadt bars are here... they're big, similar to the T1 bars on my C5 racecar.

Ended up with a blem set of Pfadts... hate the orange, but after a lot of research they're the only mfg who makes a set with both the front and rear bars adjustable.

I agree that’s a negative. Luckily I was able to make it work. The adjustability in the hotxhkis all around was just not enough bar. I also never had issues with oversteer that I felt was caused by suspension.

What would be the issue with getting the LG front adjustable and Hotchkis rear adjustable? Softer and adjustability would be a plus for the rear bar and wouldn't deter me.
My C6Z happens to have a set of Heavy Rate adjustable Pfadt's still going strong.

I tried that. Worked a little better for autox but in track form the non adj LG felt better set up and overall flatter. I was running a z51 with msrc, camber plates and slicks.
