snooze, you lose.
Thank you koozy for building awareness of this product. I'm excited to see how it affects daily spirited driving. The torsion bar mod made a slight but noticeable improvement in handling/feel, so I feel that adding more stability down there will make things even better. And as you said for the money and ease of install, it's a no-brainer.

oh, and someone local will be inquiring Hotchkis if they want to get into the chassis bracing game errr... products for the Fiesta ST.

IMO enthusiast demand for bracing is greater than sway bars for the platform. Hopefully their plate isn't full and they take interest.

Pierce local yes does the job yes, quality is ok , Hotchkis? Big step above Pierce in terms of manufacturing quality.
Sorry Pierce lovers this is just a first hand observation fact of both companies products.

I have zero bracing, so I can't answer your question.

But there are many enthusiast who lap up current offerings, so someone who is in the market for bracing anyways will inquire to see if Hotchkis is interested.

Don't know yet. Just want to get a list of locals who are interested. Always good to have back ups.

I think Hotchkis may now be scoping this thread to gauge what type of interest and demand there is, they were puzzled as to the recent demand with their sway bar. [emoji41]

I’d be possibly interested in the future. I have used one of the other brands for our cars and wasn’t one bit impressed with the welds or coating quality. I have used hotchkis parts in past with no issues.

I would be interested in A. More of their bracing products and B. Lending my car over for a max of 2 weeks straight. Luckily i have a work vehicle so my fiST sits around more often than not.

Hey guys, just to clarify... we have a car available for prototyping if Hotchkis wants to pursue development. Anyone else that is available to provide a car will be considered backup if it becomes necessary. Thank you for stepping up. [thumb]

I bought one of the rear sway bars when they were still available, should be here in a couple weeks. The price was too good to pass up!

Id be interested in some bracing for the Fiesta ST.

Was the discount due to imperfections in the coating? I have quite a few lil chips but it does not affect the part and will get chips anyway I imagine. Still a great deal.
