This is about half the cost of the TRD swaybar,at least for me here in canada.

I came across it and have never seen anyone mention it here or anywhere else.

I stumbled upon it when looking at rear end pics.

It can be bought many places but here is example.

I just replaced all dampers and installed lowering springs and can only say I'am totally amazed at the difference.

This may/could be the finishing touch for the rear?(The price is right)

A TRD or whiteline bar will run me $350.00+

When I had my GT-Spec (in blue) bar, I didn't feel a difference in cornering, but it did make the car more compliant/smooth over rough roads. Also, that's not the same as the TRD rear sway bar.

On your car year and model......the sway bar should have been the very first add on to your car. The TRD is the best fit for our cars and well worth the money for every day use.

You get what you pay for.

New dampers all around was priority...threw on some lowering springs while I was at it aswell.

The car is way..way better feeling know.

Come to think of it not even sure if sway is needed anymore.

Before new dampers/springs I would get thrown around in the wind quite easily,that is not an issue anymore and cornering is really nice too.

Just gotta secure my sub box know.I took some turns quicker then I would have before lowered and sub box definitly needs securing.Going to get some L brackets today.

If I can get my hands on a used sway some day I will give it a go.

Agreed. I don't see it being beneficial to stiffening rear like an anti-roll bar or stopping toe change under load (although it possibly may limit it? :iono:).
