Hmm I thought that they had discontinued their front sway bars, or is that a different one that comes in the "kit?"

[Hemidog]

those a-arms look much more advanced than any other a-arms i've seen.

Agreed , A little more engineering maybe, Their whole setup looks good.

What do you think of the price?

looks like some nice hardware    ..........

I know they discontinued their old bar - or at least stopped production - they said they were possibly going to redesign and release a newer model - looks like they did.

New Hotchkis sway bars....

I'm pretty sure alot of guys here are waiting to get their hands on a set of these.......that includes me...

I think the story with the old bar was that they got tired of people mixing up the 1969 and earlier front bar and the 1970 front bar.  Too many people returning the 1969-down bar when they figure out it's wrong for an E-body. 

Judging by the picture, it looks like they just went with the 1970-up setup and now they're gonna tell us to retrofit it into the earlier K-frames.

I like the flexible strut rods. Very cool idea.

I'm not sold on a solid-mount for them, though. 

I can understand wanting to tighten up the stock joint but that's a little much.  A poly or a harder rubber item would have been better IMHO.  When it's solid it would seem to dump more stress onto the LCA mount in the back of the K-frame, which is already critical (and arguably a little over-stressed) in stock form.
