Have you tried a Google search. I found lots of links. It seems TireRack has them..
http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/Susptabl.jsp?autoMake=BMW&autoModel=Z4+2.5I&autoYear=2003&autoModClar=&brand=Hotchkis+Sport+Suspension
Also, the real name for them are "anti-roll bars" not sway bars... that should help in your search.
Cars don't 'sway', they roll in the corners. I have never understood the where the term 'sway bar' came from..

I purchaed mine at bavauto.com -- $400 for the front and rear set. Despite what the description or pictures show, the rear bar does not come with new adjustable end links unfortunately. I would recommend picking up an upgraded set of end links from turnermotorsport.com, because the added torsion of this new sway bar kept snapping my stock end links.
You'll feel a difference immediately once they are installed -- cornering feels significantly flatter and controlled. Visually comparing these hotchkis bars side-by-side with the stock bars, is like comparing a drinking straw with a spaghetti string.

Why hotchkis? Has anyone ever experienced these?
I used a set of hotchkis both on my second gen camaro and my Buick GS and very happy with the results. However I have never tried hotchkis on a modern european car. Please let us know the results.
yes, i have heard great things about them. have yet to hear anyone buy their bars and regret the purchase
great mister-roger. thanks for the advice!!
can't believe that the stock end links are THAT weak!!
did you replace all 4 end links? that's an extra $310 USD + tax!! almost doubles cost of the bars!! Crazy!!
have to do some financial shuffling of some of my expenses, but hope to pick up a set soon.
