Tt supra sway bars
I was just wondering, whats the big fuss about tt sway bars? How much better are they compared to stock? I heard the rear is not as thick as the stock sc's rear. I could be wrong. But yeah, im pondering about going this route, but how much of a difference are they compared to stock?

front are the same.
rears are stiffer because of the shape.
in my opinion the SC does not need anything but a front sway bar upgrade. the car oversteering and kicks out plenty as is. with a stiffer rear sway bar the car will see more oversteer.
if you want better handling and less body roll get some different shocks and springs/coilovers.

THIS.
Just like shocks+springs or adjustable coilovers, adding too much stiffness can be bad for your car and can make you actually lose grip easier/faster. (Small bumps can wind up easily upsetting the balance of the car and wind up decreasing tire contact patch during disruptions)
The more stiffly sprung and rigid the suspension is on a car over stock, the more you'll need a wider stance and/or more pristine road conditions to really take advantage of it. Swaybar is probably one of the last things you want to upgrade. Luckily, most aftermarket sways are not aggressively stiffer than stock (most are in the +20-40% range)
Another thing to remember with sways is that it isn't just all about the outer diameter of the bar, as all of them have unique inner diameters that greatly affect their rigidity. As far as I know, no one lists their ID's or spring rates (swaybars function like springs in a way), which makes apples to apples comparisons near impossible.

Oh but it's so much more fun with an upgraded suspension! Body roll is diminished in my car with TT sways/TT struts/springs/poly sway bushings/ front strut bar/TT rims
