Okay folks I was driving home this evening and realize it's time to invest in Daizen anti sway bars. What I want to know is it worth putting them on before lowering the car. And how hard is DIY installation, mind you I'm not Lee nor do I have the spit shined garage.

it's pretty easy to do the sways. and definitely worth doing that even before you lower the car. i have read several people with stock suspension, put in the sways and they love it

its not hard but air tools are your friend also having a friend around isnt a bad idea, not needed if you got an extra jack laying around but sure is easier. just make sure you dont over torque or gun the rods that connect to the sway bars because they can strip very easily. Also dont forget for the rear sway bar its reversed and you need a hex key and I believe a 14mm wrench to tighten it. I would reccomend using a gear wrench, now is a good time for more tools!!

I find it easier with both ends of an axle up in the air as the sways attach to the links on the control arms and thing bolt up quicker if the wheels are at a even level. So jack up the rear together and once completed lower the rear and raise the front. The rear is easy, jack under the diff. The front requires lifting from both sides. Don't forget jack stands;had a jack go out on me years ago with no jack stand and luckily I was not under the car otherwise I would not be typing this. Learned my lesson that day.
But yes, it makes a big difference even on stock height cars. Most seem to set the rears in the middle hole. You will know what I mean once you get it.

I dont have an sc430, but i do have daizen sways on my GS400. I would imagine the installation is the same on both cars. The installation is very easy. I did have problems with the nut falling off, as so do some people. You might want to try to find some lock nut with nylon insert. Or get yourself some loctite for the thread. On my car, I used lock-washers also just because I lose so many OEM nuts

I had a TRD rear sway bar on my GS when I had the stock suspension and it help quite a bit with body roll. I would imagine a full set of daizen would help you out.

Hi newbee here, I have a 2005 sc430 pebble beach. I have put on staggered 20 " donz rims 20 x 10 and 20 x 8 toyo tires with slotted and drilled rotors . I am about to install a set of daizen anti sway bars. I have been reading and consensus seems to say set the rear on middle hole. I have no plans to lower
the car. My question is i want to install a tower strut bar I have seen them on ebay for 165.00 + ship no namer brand supposed to be aircraft grade aluminum. I would like to put on a quality product can any one steer me in
the right direction as far as what i should buy and what is the proper way to install . I have been reading i will need longer attaching bolts. any help would be appreciated . I have allready done the back up camera with the nav tool also 8 disk dvd changer in trunk and a single disk dvd player in glove box which is also a tv tuner [ got to be sitting still to get decent reception ] I also installed a stebel horn [ very loud air horn to scare the idiots that get in your way ]. I have a hidden toggle switch to turn stebel horn off when if [I] park the car in a under ground garage the oem horns are loud enough in case my alarm goes off if i leave the stebel horn active someone might throw a brick at my car to shut it off


all answers will be greatly appreciated
