Depends what you're looking for, you can go with the TRD's, eibach's, tanabe, daizen's, the list goes on. Just depends what kinda handling characteristics you're looking for. There's ALOT of info on this over at my.is in the stop/drop/and roll section.

Hotchkis coils and f/r sways..Opinions Please!!!!
Thanks guys.
I found a set on Ltuned I like. The Hotchkis coils and f/r sways, with a toms strut bar. Anyone have any opinions on Hotchkis products...likes/dislikes.
I am trying to stiffen up the Lex for corners, it has too much body roll now, so it losses traction in the rear.

opinions on hotchkis have been pretty good overall.... but
read thru some of the posts on my.is for a few cases where the sways have rusted thru completely and the springs have extensive rust, too.

That was me. I did a write-up on my experience with the company. Their customer service is top notch. I got fully reimbursed plus a box of goodies.
As far as their springs, I paired them with stock shocks. I found them to be a little soft. I had coilovers & Eibach pro-kits before that and I would never get any springs that are no progressive.
I've heard Hotchkis sways are one of the stiffest ones out there. Nothing but good things about their sways. One member did snapped his rear sways but got a new one from Hotchkis shortly after he called the company.
my.IS is down, I will try to find you some links when they are back up!
