Is the TRD rear sway bar a worthwhile upgrade?

[scape]

not to thread jack, but i'm wondering which I should get-- 19mm or 23mm. i don't plan on getting any wider of tires (195/55 series on 15) and am thinking 23mm might end up as too much

I think I'd recommend the 19mm rear bar, considering you are remaining relatively stock (as I am). The 19mm bar seems to be engineered to complement the stock suspension system and really tightens up the overall handling characteristics of the car. Body roll is slowed (and also limited) to an incremental amount and it's very predictable in turns. I chose the TRD unit but it appears there is also a very reasonably priced aftermarket 19mm rear bar out there (read through this thread). I want to add that my car is equipped with the OEM 15" alloys, and your results may be a bit different with the higher unsprung weight of 15" steelies or smaller 14" steelies.
