Don't hold your breath.  I went through this a year or so ago, and it
took forever to get me all the parts.  

In my case, I paid a total of $563 in April '03.

In checking my email archives, I find an email from HAP dated Oct 9, 2003
saying he had just received the batch of red sway bars and mine should be
shipped to me shortly.  

That was at least 7 months.  If your luck is no better than mine,
you should have the parts by ...  maybe November.

Plus, there are some parts you need to order from the dealer.
If I can find my install instructions - which includes the list of
stuff to order from the dealer, I could send it to you.

Hell, if I could find it, maybe I'll finally install the damn swaybar.
It took so long between getting the brackets and instructions, and 
when I finally got the sway bar, I'd lost the brackets and instructions.
I've found the brackets but not the instructions.

When I get all the stuff together in one spot at one time, I'll try to 
get it installed.

At the same time, you have to remember HAP is doing this HRSB production
as a favor to the rest of us.  I figure that means one needs to wait for 
as long as it takes.  I didn't bitch then and I'm not now.
