rear sway bars

she-ite they make a hell of a difference to a FWD car... almost all the under-steer is gone brring pushing it like a nutter, and in wet it is amazingly better.

ummm, yeah, thats about it... good story me. :lol:

So its a worthwhile investment then?
by worthwhile i mean cost effective & relativly cheap.
What sort did you get & did you loose much boot capacity?

Definitely worth it.

I think you may be confusing a rear strut brace, with a sway bar (aka Anti Roll bar).

it's a 23mm TRD unit from Revhead, took a while to get here(was on back order). it is apparently 49% stiffer than stock.

Officially whiteline don't do a swaybar for the zze123, although the zze122 unit seems to be fine according to the Aussie fullas in their sportivos...

I havent managed to lift a wheel off the ground under hard cornering, but I suspect that is a lack of driving skill more than car setup.

Something free from a friend, that had been sitting in a shed for god knows how long. I think they might be a dunlop something? They're rock hard though.
