I do have one question for you... how in the heck are we supposed to pronounce your handle?

If you're bored with this thread then I suggest you move on to another one...

No not bored. But I will wait until you post about how you like your new sway bar.

Shroomster · 11-06-2008, 11:34 PM

for cripes sake send me the certificate and I'll get the sway bar.....you're making the rear suspension more rigid than what it is...and you're doing it for half the cost ...quit wondering. start doing

AND you can install the sway yourself if you can boil water...

I've never had the opportunity to upgrade the suspension / handling components of any of my cars before. My driving style is not to drive like a maniac. I'll only drive 5mph over the speed limit, but most of the time I drive at the speed limit and I do coast alot.

I guess the rear sway bar will help with that hypermiling technique where I coast to my next turn and turn without using my brakes to slow down.

Wow, screw the $213 my dealer wants for the TRD rear sway bar. I'm getting this!:

Edit:
Heh, I really should have taken shop class. I guess tie bars are completely different than sway bars and it looks like people recommend 4-point tie bars vs. the 2-point bars in this auction.

$19.72 shipping to Las Vegas.

IsLNdbOi · 11-07-2008, 01:38 AM

Through my dealer it would be $213 - that $125 certificate.

LtNoogie · 11-07-2008, 01:41 AM

Oh, you can only use the certificate at one dealer? Then you're stuck having to pay their price. My dealer's prices were always so much higher than TRD Sparks.

I think I bought all of my TRD parts from them. Even with shipping, they were cheaper than my Toyota dealer once you added sales tax.

IsLNdbOi · 11-07-2008, 01:44 AM

Yeah, unfortunately the certificate is only good with my dealer. If I get the shocks and lowering springs I'll definitely get them from TRD Sparks unless my dealer can price match them.
