rear swaybar options?
Very tempted to get a rear sway bar for my '10 3-door, but wondering if any other Toyota products had a swaybar from the factory, that I could just get cheap at the pick-a-part? Perhaps some sort of Scion?

Best sway bar is the red TRD. Your car will stop floating on the highway.

I wouldn't say the best, but it is a good one. You will have to go with something else if you want a larger swaybar than TRD.

What I like about the TRD one, it fits perfect. I have seen some other brands that hang lower then the TRD, that's what I didn't like. |

They make a big difference! Mine is 17mm and works fine,but wish I would he got the 19mm. I have a sedan,so I have a bit more rear overhang.
For normal day to day driving with some "spirited" interludes... the 17 will be fine and then some. |

Is the rear sway bar something a guy with a chop saw, drill press, and a mig welder could make?
I really like fabricating versus buying if possible. Also.....any pictures of sway bars installation projects? |

Anyways, with the MI springs, its impossible to drive in the winter because they are so stuff up front that make the cars understeer massively. The swaybar will correct this, and the TRD makes it very neutral, very predictable. Going with the UR 21mm will make the car oversteer more. Very useful when racing, and exit a corner at even higher speed. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk |

I just finished. Installing the MI springs today. And had already had the TRD swaybar.
With just the sway bar the car slightly oversteered which I liked but it caught me off guard the first time. With the MI spring and sway bar the car noow acts neutral in hard corners. I preferred a bit of oversteer but it is at least very predictable now. There is virutally no body dway even on hard 90 degree corners. On and off ramps can be driven at least 25km/h faster with still no sway. Both mods are well worth the cash and the MI springs are on ebay for $99 which is a great price |

an anti-roll bar is a torsion bar, kinda like a spring. the steel is mathmaticly twisted when it is formed. to build one would require some kind of twisting machine and some forging hammers and some fancy dial calipers and lots of math, minimum. you can however build ladder bars and strut bars as they are not sprung steel but rigid body suspension....

I think Whiteline makes one of the best ones for racing. 22mm and fully adjustable, so you can control the roll stiffness for various situations without needing to replace the wholle bar.
