    I cannot locate a website or any contact info for Hotchkiss/H-Sport.

    Is the Madness RSB solid or hollow?

    I’m a bit leery of hollow RSB...

    You shouldn't be. When was the last time you actually replaced those RSB bushings? Willing to bet they were toast, and had a bunch of grit and road debris in them, causing the coating to get worn away and rust through. You need to keep those bushing fresh and greased. Mine need to be replaced every other year or so.

    I finally found the Hotchkiss website.

    Based on the product description, I have a feeling a warranty claim would be denied because it was installed on my daily driver.

    WMW did the install of the RSB & the camber links at MOTD.

    Bushings were greased with every 5k tire rotation.

    WMW never said a word about “track-only or warranty is void” because my anal-retentive, nuclear & mechanical engineer husband would have vetoed the purchase.

    (The anal-retentive husband is now my ex-husband!)

    Found the warranty info: 36 months.

    To hell with another hollow RSB.

    The 22 was hollow? Thought it was the 25 that is hollow.

    SOLID...when I first got it i thought it might be too heavy because I had never had a 3-hole adjustable rear sway bar before. However, since the Cooper is not raced [but it does the TOTD well], the added weight in the back gives it a bit more stability, I think.
