    I know the TRD swaybar for the '08 xB is essentially identical to the TRD Prius bar, but has anyone successfully used a different bar for the xB?

    A guy on my Scion forum is selling the Hotchkis front and rear bars for the xB.
    I wonder if they'd fit.
    In the same vain, are the front bars compatible too?

    I have the '08 xB Hotchkis bar set (Front and Rear) sitting in my trunk right now :)

    There is a thread on here where a forum member did confirm that front and rear do indeed fit. I haven't come across any other manufactures which produce a set other thank Hotchkis for the '08 xB.

    Did the front bar fit well and if so, how was the handling after the installation?

    There's a thread here about the RAV4 Sport front sway bar (1mm thicker than stock) fitting the Gen 3. Not sure about the model years though.
