Hey guys I tried searching this forum for the specs on this new 2014 CT200h stock front and rear sway bar specs. Couldn't find anything. I have the 2014 CT200h f-sport but planning on buying the F-sport sway bar set.

The currents specs on the f-sport sway are:
Front: 28.5mm
Rear: 25.4mm

stock specs?

HMMM, I thought we received them as part of the F Sport package...am I misinformed?

I couldn't find the stock specs so I stuck a caliper under my car. I think the front was around 24-25mm and the rear was about 20mm. The upgrade would be significant because the spring rate increase is exponential not linear.

F-Sport Sway Bars are not part of the F-Sport package, still an additional option for the car. Not sure what the stock bars measure, but I have the F-Sport Sway Bar set on my CT as well as the F-Sport springs. I've driven cars with and without it. Definitely worth the extra money, alot more fun to drive, take corners, and 3 wheel into driveways!

there are like 3 sets of sway bars. one that come with the base/premium version of the CT, one that comes with the f-sport version of the CT (it's not blue), and then an upgraded version of that sway bar that comes in blue. i swapped out my stock f-sport sway bar set for the blue ones which are just a tad stiffer i believe. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ct-...-and-more.html check out my build thread here. though i didn't go into much detail about the sway bar. but i do have it! so.. that's true for 2011 to 2013, not sure if they changed anything for the 14+ models.

thanks for the input. getting the Blue f-sport sway bars and lowering spring in next week.

There is an upgraded package from the standard f-sport which is (black). I guess the F-sport upgrade is larger and has that blue color to it.

I just called my dealership in san diego. to install sway bars and springs will cost $1300 which includes wheel alignment as well. What do you guys think? worth it?!

Does that include parts? Seems high.

I paid $300 for the spring install. Alignment should run $75.

i wish..
spring install runs $700
sways runs $500

its all dealership price.. so it definitely a rip off i believe.

I agree, the sway bars is not included in the F sport package. My question is, why do you need to tweak the ground clearance by installing a lowering spring? The standard ground clearance for the CT is too low already. Any pictures showing the struts installation.

I am bit on the fense here should get F Sport sway bar on my 15 CT F Sport? Please help me decide.

CT is my commuter car but sometime I tend have some fun especially on exit ramps and back road. So I am thinking F Sport sway bar might take a notch up with driving excitement, what do you guys say?

I installed the springs and sways with the help of my buddy. All you need are jack stands, a jack and spring compression tool. You can rent them at a local auto parts store. After all is said and done, you should get an alignment done. My steering wheel was a bit off after we installed everything.

On a side note, while you have everything apart, you could follow the instructions given to you for the spring installation and put in about 1.5 degrees of negative camber to help with cornering. It's pretty sweet!

After all was installed, the car handled quite well. I surprised many many people at the Tail of the Dragon with just those mods. I returned this year with what I have now in my sig and knocked the socks off people. They still can't believe it's a hybrid!

So I know this thread is old, but I bet there are others like me who want to do this mod but there just isn't a lot of information out on it. Here's some installation instructions I acquired that hopefully will help others looking to do this mod.

That’s crazy $1300 to install spring and sway bars, I really don’t think it takes that much work/ tools. The alignment I’d recommend going to a suspension specialist that deals with lowered cars on a daily basis.
