I have the hotchkis set on the hard setting. The new endlinks and the sway feel much tighter and more responsive with a sharp turn.

Yep, the OEM end links don't fit into the hotchkis swaybar all the way.

The fit for the rear sway was really straght forward, look at the tech artice for it... Mine personaly was a lil hard to get in the brackets are a bigger due to the larger diameter of the sway bar. The new washers were a bit too big and were pinching the bracket. I just cut away the excess and fits great. The stock endlinks are pitiful get the upgraded ones from dezodwest.com fits better and looks good.

Hope you find this helpful!!

How are these in comparison to the Hotchkis Camber Links? Anyone know if there is a quality control issue with the DezodWest Camber Links?

You're not going to get any noticeable gains period. most I/H/E exhaust systems will yield around 10-15 WHP, and worse yet, all mid to top range gains. You're at H/E, without the Intake, so I'm not sure what you're aiming for here.

I/H/E + 50shot dry n2o maybe? Not sure, n2o really isn't my thing, but if that's what you want, it'd work.

You're better off saving the few grand for the Supercharger. Completely street legal, keeps warranty, has a warranty, and the most noticeable power gain.

LOl y did you post this question in this thread? totally off topic. ANyway you dont need to upgrade the engine, the supercharger is fine, just becareful with upgrading theS/C itself like a higher boost pulley, because when the oil seals leak, the dealer might not want to fix it because you tampered with the S/C.

Back to topic....

These 2 products serve 2 completely different functions. The Hotchkis piece is strictly for adjusting the rear camber beyond the factory settings capability for lowered vehicles. The DezodWest rear-swaybar endlinks are designed to offer a stronger control and adjustment to the OEM or aftermarket swaybars. The main issue with replacing the rear swaybar with a beefier aftermarket one has been the mounting protrusion for the OEM endlink has been inadequatly insufficient (too short) to hold the nut tightly.
