The TRDs ended up costing me $640 CAN with the discount at sewell for members. Then I got a bill in the mail for another $119 from fed ex for customs. So if your in Canada you'll be paying about $760. Pretty retarded price if you ask me.

we would do a 34mm and 19mm at this point given the vehicle weight I would base specs on the rate targets on the IS-F design that we have. Price range would be less that the TRD and combine SuperPro lifetime poly bushings as well as an endlink and relocation option.

ETA? sounds really promising... Larger than TRD and Daizen.. should handle the GS very well...

Hey Mike, not sure if you can elaborate how far into the process you are, or any tentative release dates? If it's like any of your other parts that I've purchased in the past, I'm certain the quality will be top notch. Price point? I understand if it's too early to release info.

I would do your darnest to make the rear bar adjustable and go thicker, more like a 25mm bar and then either spline it and allow for an adjuster to be able to be slid back and forth on it to provide adjustabililty or have holes in the end to allow 3-4 positions to put the end link into.

This allows for track day settings vs everyday settings.

Like this: http://rpmspeed.com/images/C10-RSB-125.jpg

But make it durable enough it doesn't do this: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...-asap-rear.jpg

Splined ends like this: http://blog.zip-corvette.com/wp-cont...12/su-1608.jpg (sorta overkill for what I am thinking at least)

A bit more on the idea like this: http://www.wahlracing.com/images/P/1...%20QP%20TN.jpg

I haven't pulled the trigger on the trds yet. But if figs makes some with an adjustable rear, I'd pick them up ASAP

I want some TRDs also like next month. FIGS can take months for the build and then still has to release them to the public . 34mm front sway bar is going to be to be huge

Splined ends do little but add cost since you cannot use a straight bar here. My goal is to have bladed ends and push them out further to impart more leverage on the arms. If you buy our rear LCA, We have pickup points for the sway bar further out than stock for greater influence. There are limits to what can fit in the bushing area. 25mm is going to be outside the channel diameter and require a special mount. This adds cost again. I have thought of most of this but practically speaking there are very few withing the already small market that would take a higher end bar like this. Maybe I am wrong. In general I am willing to bet that most sway bar breakages are due to poorly lubricated bushings. This causes binding and overstress between mounting points.

I always listen to feedback though, so noted on all counts.
Mike

Would totally be interested in a rear sway bar

if that option just to purchase just the rear only

But at least for street use, it would be nice to see something larger then a 19mm, a adjustable 22 mm, size is not to far off from the started 19mm...heck doesnt even have to be adjustable, just move the OEM endlink point where rear sway is at its max stiffness. Would make things simple...IMO.

None the less, this would be a great option and something I would be interested in having for 2014
