Nah, it looks much thicker. Is much thicker, looking at the specs, same as the Progress Rear Sway.

Good to see that they are still working on xB parts...

Wow with the little coupons they send me in the mail it would be the same price as the progress bar, but in RED! Not a bad deal...

The Hotchkis, Progress and TRD are all similar in shape and mounting, but the TRD and Progress are much thicker at 22mm compared to 12mm!?!

Too bad TRD didn't come out w/ this sooner!

THANKS Alex for posting this!

I second that statement, I would love to have had this on the market a few months ago when I put on my Progress bar, definately would have been a possible choice for me. I still love my Progress Rear Sway though.

What happened to the whiteline bar you bought? I heard those are really nice sway bars... That really sucks if it didnt fit because i imagine youve been waiting a while for that one.

i had it on my xb for 2 months or so. then i bagged it and the bags in the backk would rub the whiteline so i couldn't put it back on.

how difficult is it to install a rear sway bar on the xB? it looks like its pretty basic from the pic above. I remember installing a bigger sway bar on my integra and it was a friken pain in the ___. it was definitely worth it tho. If the sway bar bolts right up like it looks like it does I might have to look into getting one of these for my xB.

paying for a trd part don't forget so its not voiding the warranty of that part of the car.

true, but I paid 165.00 for my Hotchkis set. I guess I figured it would be price comparable to the Progrees rear bar of 140.00. Good point though concidering it is a "factory" part.

If you think this through then how can they prove that the added sway bar caused anything to break??? im curious, i have the progress and they only thing that i could see toyota voiding warranty on would be the lower holes on the bottom of the rear suspension.....holes..... legally that part would not void warranty
