Here are the TRD Supra Subframe mounts. They look the same as the stock ones in pics. I'm assuming they are just stiffer bushings. I will let you know how they fit when I install them in the next week.[

About how much are these?

Okay so lemme get this straight,

MY SC is a '93, with a 30MM front, and a 24MM rear bar

The rear Supra bar bends alot less than the SC bar, and it mounts to a more appropriate place, however, what diameter is it?

Also, looking at pictures online, it seems the front Supra bar is identical to the SC bar.

The front sway bar is i think the same diameter or 1-2mm more. But much more stiffer! With the TT Parts, the SC feels perfect in balance, not so soft and incalculable. I was with my SC400 with the Supra Bilstein shocks, Supra Springs, LSD and the TT Swaybars on the wet track drifting, great! you feel every second what the car do and will to do, not bad surprises, also on street.

So if the front bar is the same thing, how the hell is it stiffer?

^^ This is the truth. I have nearly the same suspension setup and with all those components installed you have a completely different car that communicates and responds to input compared to stock.

The 93.5-96 Supra TT rear swaybar should be 22mm but far more rigid than an SC rear sway bar. I believe Toyota backed off on the diameter for the 97-98 TT's but I could be wrong.

Alright, thats all fine and dandy, and I can't wait till I get LSD, but thats a heap of parts that collectively make a huge difference, obviously.

I'm just talking about the FRONT bar.

Default TRD RSF Mounts installed

The TRD mounts cost me 56.25 a piece with Supra Forums membership discount at Elmhurst Toyota.

Oh and they bolted up successfully with no modifications needed to be done. One thing I do recommend when installing new sway bars is to be ready to order new end links, not because of the boot going bad but the allen hole stripping. Be careful when loosening and tightening the end links. I have to buy a new one due to stripping.

PS: Car feels great! Much less body roll. I drove in a roundabout nonstop before and after install and the car felt much better IMO. My car is currently on stock shocks/springs.

Hi
I've just bought a set of titanmotorsports' sway bars. I'm going to install them to my Toyota Soarer which is identical to any SC in term of suspension. I'll make some photos after.
I want to say thanks to all guys in this topic. Your dialog have helped me made my choice when I've decided to decrease my car's roll on.
Here is document with Supra's sway bar rates

It's funny how this always gets glossed over. I bought used front and rear Supra bars from Titan Motorsports, and the front bar was 100% identical in shape and weight to the SC400 bar. I never did get an answer from Nero about that.

They supposedly came off of the same car, so either it had gotten its front bar swapped with a SC one, or there's a whole lot of confusion about what front bars Supras truly have.
