96 Lexus es300 Rear sway bar upgrade
So, I was wondering if there is a OEM sway bar that's bigger from any other toyota or lexus that will fit. Anyone have any ideas? Or what all I'll need? Or does anyone have a sway bar up for sale such as a white line etc etc. I really want to put one out back and put poly bushings and really good links up front.
Let me know what you guys think about the Idea too....thanks in advance.

I believe EEngineer used a RSB from an Avalon application in his '93 so I suppose certain years of Avalon would work. Although I'm not sure they're completely genuine, I saw some whiteline's on Ebay not too long ago.

after researching all night I've found the mcv10 chassis has it's own rear sway bar setup the later models is supposedly different. So the whiteline btr36 is what fits it's 18mm

Oh interesting it looks like the rear sway bars are compatible between 2ES and 3ES, and hence the assorted Camry/Avalon chassis. good to know.
Interesting the bigger sway bar is spec'd for the newer car, 20 vs 18, in practice the 3ES will have a much higher actual rate (stiffer) from the same bar because of the direct-acting end-link. The 18 would be a nice upgrade for the 3ES. I have the 24/20 Whitelines and I am thinking that are a bit stiff vs the stock 17/16, the ride does suffer.
