Hotchkis 2202R rear sway bar

Anyone have any good rear view pics of these sway bars? Just wondering how good/gay they look, compared to the stock ones.

I don't remember the model #, but this is a Hochkis set-up on my 71 supreme. Not quite stock looking but seems to work well, I have their control arms which are solid looking not like stock either.

Yep, that's the one. I also have their control arms (rear ones) as part of the TVS kit that I still have. I was going to sell it at several times, but still have it, and will prob end up using it all.

How you like their arms? Rears? No crazy 'binding' as I have heard many talk about? I have never used adjustable uppers before, and often wondered how they are kept 'tight' when installed, keeping the lengths of each the same, etc.

One thing I do not like about them so far (as well as Global West) is their 'bolts'. The smooth part of the bolts are too thick to go into the frame holes easily, unlike the factory style ones, which only have that 'raised' part near the head of the bolt. That is the reason I am sticking with factory type bolts, and going to try the Edelbrock rear frame brace instead.

I have Hotchkis bar and PMT arms, the first uppers were two diffrent lenghths so they sent me adjustables for free.

All looks and works great, adjustables are the way to go.

Hotchkis offers one that is even fatter,but it does not mount to the lower control arm like the factory bars do.Here's a picture of my 2202R(not the fatter one)

hmmm, nice. I should have painted my pumpkin cast iron color and put a W27 cover on.

I aint keeping those stickers on though and giving them free advertising. They are pissing me off at present... I ordered the new billet front sway bar braces from their site, only to find out after contacting them like 5 times that they are still in production. No apologies or anything.
