I have the Tein HA's and the Hotchkis sway bar (and everything else hotchkis). The anti-roll bars are fine with the Tein HA's there should be no noise. Make sure that the bolts are tight (especaill the anti-roll bar links and make sure you put the grease that came with the hotchkis anti-roll bars in the bushings. If you put different grease in there or it they didn't come with grease (like mine didn't) go and get energy suspension polyurethane anti-roll bar bushing grease and put that in.

The knocking noise that is common with the tein and hotchkis setup is a from the front and it from the hotchkis front strut bar with it's adjsutable camber links. The way the shock head fits into the adjustable camber links is what causes this. If you don't have the hotchkis front strut bar you hace nothing to worry about.

well it ended up being a loose end link. How the fudge that got loose is beyond me.

In any case, it does seem like for as low as my car is, the Hotchkis sways are putting ALOT of pressure on "other things". I'm also getting sick of the TEIN HA ride, or lack there of.

Are the SS's softer? I'm just to the point where I could care less about performance in this car. It's my daily driver and this crap is killing my back. what's a better option, because I want to be able to drop or raise my car at will, but would also like some ability to change the ride comfort a bit.
I'd suggest just ordering new springs for your tein ha's, you can order any spring rate for something like 150 for all four. That will be cheaper and better then selling the HA's and getting the SS's
