Hello CL. I've read several posts on what to do to improve your gs such as moog suspension. But as for the roll aspect, I've only seen posts on the various components of the sway bars. So for a guy with a slight budget, which part is the most effective to improve, the bars themselves, the sway bushings, or the end links? Name brands as well? Please and thank you.

most definitely coilovers helped my handling dramatically

Concentrate on the lower portions of the car i.e. sway bars, upgraded A-arm brace, floor bars etc...don't bother with a strut tower bar as there is no significant difference. I actually sold mine a month after purchase. Lowering helps as well. Whatever combo you choose to go with. Above all, bushings, bushings, bushings. Search on this one....

I've searched this forum and saw all your suggestions. My question was which is most efficient do do first, given my minor budget. I think coilovers cost several hundred to lower the car two inches? So the first thing to do is sway bar bushings? Or upgrade the bars themselves? the sway

Coils definitely helps,I'm doing bushings and new sways soon

Sway bars are going to give you the most reduction in body roll. Get some TRD's from Sewell Lexus and combo them with some decent coils and you will be more than happy. I on BC Coils and Intrax Sway Bars and my handling is superb.

This.

Lowering the car by itself (coils/springs) is a BIG change over stock in handling so having both these done will satisfy you for sure. Bushings will wrap it all together DEFINITELY but it's an invloving task (press out/in, arm removals)

I can't get coilovers yet bc of money. Ill lower it last. But as for the rest, basically ill want to get trd sway bars and bushings? Don't worry about the sway bar end links?

When I do lower it, will two inches suffice with 17 inch custom wheels and 235/45 tires? Hopefully I don't need rca's for my current setup.

But first I need to moog out most of my lower suspension.

Thanks for all u guys' input.

Sway bars first. I did the Tein front and rear strut bars. Made a pretty noticeable difference in hard turning body roll. Especially the rear one. I definitely recommend them.

DavidCBY

any difference between sway bars and strut bars? or are there multiple sway bars that belong to different parts?

Im gonna try sit ups first

Then TRD sways + lowering - fat chick passangers

Plenty of braces available but i'd follow LuxuryGS3 on this one followed by tower braces.

If these are the parts we are talking about, i can better afford to do my moog LBJ's and OTR's first

Well if we're really into cheap and efficient solutions, the most effective is just not to turn the car.

But if that's not versatile enough, ;-) used sway bars would probably be the next cheapest/effective solution. Then new.

CL classifieds, and ebay/craigslist are good places to look. Strut bars will help, but won't be nearly as noticeable as sways.

Coilovers will probably be the most effective, but also the most expensive. Try looking for used sets, again, here, or on the net.

Replacing bushings won't do much.

thanks bro ill be sure to look for used coilovers and sway bars. i didnt think to try used
