I'm the first on the forums to install a set as far as I'm aware.

It was bad enough to make it not worth any additional hassle. Driving to dinner and back was annoying. Hotchkis is claiming the end-links weren't tight which is BS; I double-checked all connections before uninstalling and it's not like this is my first swaybar rodeo. My theory is the bushings were 1. too hard for the street and 2. too big for the stock saddles. Hotchkis does include spacers to move the stock saddles out a bit, but they probably need to be thicker or doubled-up, which may or may not help. I'm fine with considering this a failed experiment, the Z51 w/mag ride already has the largest bars available on the C7 so I'll just leave well enough alone and stick with them. I guess there's a reason these bars were half the price of the competition (which have no reported issues on street cars).
