The install instructions should include a statement about checking clearance. Sadly, they don't. When I checked mine (because I'm anal that way) I saw it would have rubbed had I not done a little tweaking to the postion. After making sure the bushing mounts were all the way toward the rear of the car, I had clearance through the entire range of travel.

This is not a kit to be installed by a lazy mechanic. It's a lot of work, but when it's done right, it really is awesome.

There's a thread on Scionlife about Hotchkis front sways rubbing. I checked mine, it is seriously scratched. I'm going back over the install today to figure out what went wrong and fix it. One thing I did find that seems to be important, the slotted mount goes on the rear sway, not the front, according to the online PDF. It would be really nice if Hotchkis put a picture of the mount for the front in the front install directions. They just call out the mount by part number. Bad idea. There's no part number marked on the mount that I could find.
