Default Swaybars finally available?

Found this on my.is-

I know there's been a lot of false alarms on sway bars being available, but this was just added to their site 2 weeks ago, and has more "details" on the product than I've previously seen (and doesn't say preorder)-

http://hpautoworks.com/index.php?mai...e3ff88d381332c

Of course it's a holiday so I doubt they'll answer the phone today to say if they really have em, but figured I'd throw it out there...

They are badass, I had them on my S4 with KW Variant 3s, way better than anything I have ever run.

I'm glad to see that the rear bar is adjustable, but I wish it was available separately. I don't see any reason to upgrade the front bar.

BTW, when looking at the bar on the Hotchkis site (not hpauto), the rear bar looks so simple that it could probably be made custom for almost nothing. I wonder which picture is correct...

Well I can easily tell the the hpauto website is using the IS300 product photo... I don't know why they would...

I know because I still have a set in my garage..

Well this is nice FINALLY.. but now that lexus is going to release an official F line set of performance sway's I don't see the need to go with either Eibach or Hotchkis. IS-F sway's ftw.

because no matter what.. IS-F sways are still OEM.. somehow

hotchkis is probably cheaper, and maybe even better than the IS-F sways.

considering.. suspension is their specialty.

I have them on my S4 and it made a huge difference (35mm front and 29mm rear).
