I would do a search...this has been discussed at length.
FYI - I think that the two most popular are the TRD blue sways and the Daizen sways...I've got the TRD blue and like them a lot.

woh, thats alot of debate! LETSRIDE. Yet no one has measured any of these bars? my initial plan is the l-tuned spring/shock package. i guess the question should be which bars have been the best with this spring/shock. my initial thought would be the trd,as i can' t get any size info on the daizen. i would also think toyota/lexus designed these available (aftermarket) parts to work together. but i sure appreciate any advice as i'm new to this car. thanks

I will be replacing my white TRD sportivo swaybars in a couple weeks and installing a much stiffer, bigger TRD race swaybars as the replacement. I will post a definitive review then.

thicker isn't always better... u gotta look at material used, dimensions, if the bar is hollow or not, and also very importantly, what is the bar connected to and how is it being held to the chassis, ie squishy bushings or a stiff bushing. if the bar is really stiff and its being held to the chassis w/ a flexy old rubber bushing then its gonna spend more time flexing the bushing then helping ure handling. also important are the endlink bushings, if energy is being spent flexing the bushings instead of the chassis arms, it ain't helping ure handling.
