    There are no TRD front sway bars for an 8th gen Corolla.

    The only other sway bars that were available were the Hotchkis bars. And those were hollow and I hear they cracked after a while.

    Well the 7th gen one works, that's the one that I've seen people use, I'm pretty sure.

    I'd like to know how they're clearing the exhaust manifold/pipe with that center hump on the 7th gen sway bars.

    I'd like to see a picture or evidence of someone using a 7th gen sway bar into a 8th gen.

    Good. I guess the others must have crashed. That's why their bars cracked. :thumbsup:

    Yeah plus some people don't really take the time to do suspension tuning or at least right . i.e corner balancing,bump steer,roll center, and make sure they work all together in perfect harmony. thats what i am focusing on vs power making the car more fun to drive

    That's why I said I was pretty sure. Most of the suspension is interchangeable between models, and I've seen whiteline bars on these before.

    I have seen that thread that the 8th gen Hotchkis bar was installed into a 7th gen. SO I know they're very similar. I just don't know how the center hump of a 7th gen bar will clear the exhaust system on a zze chassis

    Oh shit. I think I was going backwards lol. That's why I was careful to say "I think". So whiteline only makes the rear?

    Right. The only whitelines that are guaranteed to fit are the rears.

    The only hiccup using a Front 7th gen bar in an 8th gen is the exhaust clearance due to the hump the 7th gen bars have
