    They are available for purchase now. Installation is not difficult... Its a direct replacement to the stock ones. The kit includes all necessary hardware for the installation.

    did they finally finish development? a lot of website sell them but its always on backorder because hot cakes wasnt even finish making them yet.. Last time I talked to them they said they still had to get the fronts bent and powder coated.

    Also I would buy from you but shipping and tax costs a arm and a leg..
    ended up being 340.12 for us in nor cal

    Actually, I've never seen it on my car. I know what the strutbar is, but this is the first time I've heared of the sway bar. Is this mounted under the car on the frame? I've been under my car and I don't remember seeing them.

    Yeah, I am a bit confused. I saw them on vpower and I know I can get mad deals from my local shop so I had them call to see how much they could get them for. Hotchkis told the shop they didn't know what they were talking about, they didn't make them. A few weeks later, I hear that someone has them on their car so I call them back to find out some info. They said they could not give me a price quote as they were not available yet and to call back in 3 or 4 months. Just 3 weeks ago when I bought my JIC's I called them to see if they were available yet and they said they didn't know what I was talking about and had no plans of coming out with sway bars for a non AE Corolla. Now they are out? WTF!?! I don't know if this is real or make believe. As soon as somebody on here says that Hotchkis actually has them, they are being shipped, they received a box with the sway bars in them and that what they received ACTUALLY fits on their car, I won't know what to believe. PLEASE HELP CLEAR UP THIS INSANITY!!! lol

    I would check with Hotchkis to make sure they have some on hand, because I've been waiting almost 3 months for them to make and send mine out. It's possible they made a few when they made mine, so you might luck out.

    cool..

    $40 is a little steep for shipping IMO, especially if you really do only charge what it costs you to ship, and you have a UPS account set up.

    Thats my next mod if I decide against another brand.

    Right now I think my right front wheel bearing is shot. That comes first. :(

    That's just plain mean. I mean people wonder because they want to know more about the products. Its like telling somebody, because they don't know anything about their car, they don't have any business owning it. The question is..... How can someone learn about the product if they don't ask in the first place????? :(

    the 03 +'s are out I know that...they even have installation instructions. Hopefully the 98-02's front sway bar isn't as hard as the 03's....It requires dropping the engine cradle >_>
