My son bought a set of these sway bars for his 2011 RT. We installed the front which was considerably larger than the stock on but we the calipers on the rear bar and it is the same diameter as the Hotchkis rear one. Putting the rear one on is kind of pain in the butt so I don't want to change it if it isn't any different. Any thoughts????

I’d call Hotchkis and ask what the difference is,surely there’s a difference of some kind,or why sell them as a pair!?

Oh and let us know what their response is!

Spoke with Drew at Hotchkis. He said that some 2011 RTs have a 20mm bar stock. So the came out with a 22mm bar which he is going to do an exchange for us. He says the sway bar kits after 2011 come with the 22mm rear bar.

BOOM!
Love Hotchkis and their products.
I wonder how many vendors or buyers are aware of that little factoid,glad they are taking care of you!

check the center section of the bars.

It seems the earlier Hotchkis set ['08-'12] has the 38mm front, 19mm rear (SKU #22107) the pre '11 cars R/T, SRT have 16mm rear bars (if the '10/'11 R/T in question isn't equipped with STP option).

The '12+ models appear to have gone to a larger bar (19mm?) and the STP equipped (extra cost option) had the larger yet 20mm bar.

The later model Hotchkis set appears to have a 22mm rear bar for the '13+ models. (SKU #22121)

This turned up in the past few months when another member was investigating this as for his (more recent) model year. He contacted the vendor to see what the sizes were in the newer application.

Changing the rear sway bar looks harder to do on paper in the instructions than it really is, especially if you have access to a lift.
