Hotchkis Bars are 1 7/16" (36.5mm) FRONT, 1" (25.4mm) REAR
A little bigger than the 36mm/24mm ILE setup

Just remember some companies offer a hollow front and some offer a solid front. There are different characteristics for each. The stock front ones are hollow.
hmm..
guess i was figuring on trying to upgrade above the 1-le but i guess there isn't a point?

I don't think you'll notice enough (if any) difference to warrant the $, especially with all that you have done to lighten your car.

for what you can get the stock 36/24 bars it isnt worth the extra money for the hotchkis........but i was lazy i went with the hotchkis over the stocks cause they would be new...new powdercoat. i didnt have to go through the trouble of getting some and having them powdercoated. 

anyone know what came stock on a 90 350 iroc??

i have a set of 36/24 sway bars, they are fresh from the powder coater. they are coated gloss black. i bought a set of sphon sway bars, so i am looking to get rid of the 36/24's. i will sell them with greasable front and non-greasable rear energy suspension bushings. the bushings have less than 4k miles on them.
pm for pics and more details.

If you REALLY need something bigger than the 36/24 set-up, then you have other issues you need to resolve. Stabilizer bars are not band-aids for poor suspension or cover ups for other deficiencies. Check you spring rates, upgrade your dampers for something that actually works, replace worn bushings, add subframes, etc...

Werd. And they rearly ever fail, unless you live in the sticks or the east coast where salty conditions might compromise the integrity. I had mine powdercoated just to spruce things up a bit. But I never understood why people would spend the money to go with something that is like 1/8" larger or something, if even in some cases, and spend all that money. I can use a few hundred dollars for other mods.Originally Posted by dennis teichera
