Hotchkis sway bars

i know this is supposed to be only a certain year of corollas, but i just have a quick question regarding sway bars for 03 up. will they work without all these noises and what not u all are talking about? i have a 2005. thanks for all the help and sorry im bringin it a little off topic.

I dont know......
But On a diffrent note...
IT CAME!!!!!!!
yes.........
now all i have to do is install it, Maybe I'll just install the front tonight and do the rear over the weekend if time permits being there's only so many days of shopping left till christmas?

Nice -- let me know how you like them. I like my suspension, but it still leans a little more than I'd like.

Lucky you. I finally got my car back from the shop, but now it's too cold to even think about installing my sway bars.

Make sure you do the rear when your gas is low. You'll have to drop the gas tank to get the old sway bar out and the new one in. Also, take the sway bar out on the passenger side.

I put the fronts on and noticed less roll but understeer is increased and showing the imperfections of the tires.
I will attempt the rear soon.
does anyone have any suggestions as to approach this rear install.
In my haste to test the sways and ajust the front seat I busted the seat....F@*!*
So where and what can i get to replace or swap the front seat?
will these fit?

i dunno if theyll fit but they look kinda ugly. plus the whole cigarrette burn thing tells you that not only will they look like they burned, but that they will also smell smokey.

OK,
Both front and rear are in and I must say it's responsive.
My son say's it feels lighter and wanted me to leave it home today and take the spyder......shyeah!
Roll is allmost gone, it's hard to tell if it's the tires giving in the turn causeing one side to dip slightly.
Understreer is highly noticable and is the weakest link to be corrected next.
My seat is busted so comfort in turns and accurate discription of results are compromised.
Install was a little harder on the rear because of cramped quarters, but I took my time and had it completed in about 2 hours, fronts in 1.
Now, Is it worth the money????????
Lemme get my seat fixed and get some decent tires and I'll let you know


More to follow:

sorry if this is off topic but how does this affect alignment if at all? And have Halfwits fixed the front bar yet to stop rubbing? If so then ima buy then with my tax refund!!!

Anyone know if these are available in Canada?

No rubbing on the fronts.
No allignment required.
I do need to get new endlinks as mine have been pushed and are sounding old, plus I wanna put poly bushings in there
I'm looking at some after market rear link braces by whiteline and ..........

Man, I've been following this post since it started, did it take you since december to get that seat fixed? LOL J/K what kinda busings come with the kit, and what are rear link braces?

I fixed the seats soon after, In fact I put the LE seat in and feels much more comfortable
Polyurethane bushings come with the hotchkis kit and the End links are what connect the swaybar to the shocks......or visa versa.
I think I'm leaning more towards Helix.

What's the price you paid for those sways Hispin?

250

Got a link for that place? Hotchkis themselves are selling it at about 300 iirc.

if you need anything from whiteline,talk to Soren @ MPJ performane in Hayward, he'll hook u up. I got my Whiteline Oversized rear sway bar and a set of front bushings from him for about 2bills.

Right on man,
I am now in the need of rims and tires.
Im trying for some slipstreams or www.edgeracing.com/Gallery/blast-c/
with tires

<a href="http://www.machiii.net" target="_blank">www.machiii.net</a> has pretty good prices on rims n tires

Try wheels dude also, they're directly connected with ROTA.

BTW check out craigslist.org, theres a nice set of bronze TE37. 15X7 4X100 +43 with tires for only 1000! Great wheels forged @ 8.6lbs a piece.

Ok so who has the best price for the corolla hotchkis sways???

Price is about the same everywhere. A bit spendy IMO, but at least it's for the set.

If she's still around maybe she can still get them for 249,
jessica@performancepartsstore.com

popping noise can also be because it's not on tight enough. I have a progress rear sway, thats what happened when i installed. Looking to buy a front soon. Progress does not sell it, so i guess ill have to go with hotchkis.

Other than those... i think nopi has them for about $269

Nopi now has them at $250 in the Specials section for our car (98-02)

Found a link for 98-01 install (PDF

Thanks for the info!

Any one put the hotchkis sways on a prizm? So far everything else is the same... should i risk it?

it's the same car. go for it.
