ok im soo lost in this thread. so wait does the 2000-2001 camry strut bar(front) fit the 1997-2001 es300? im thinkin of getting a 2000-2001 front strut bar...would it fit? whut about the rear sway bar? what cars are compatable for the rear sway bars?
For the strut bar and the rear swaybar you would need to order the parts for a 99-01 solara. The trd strut brace is 94$ and the rear swaybar is 145$ The rear swaybar has two settings, track and street. Mine is set to track. I ordered the swaybar for the 99 solara and it fit without a problem. The car handled sooo much better with it installed.

Great info. For what year ES 300? Would some of ya'll be interested in a GB?
If ordering a swaybar for a 97-01 es-300 order the swaybar for the 99-01 solara v6. Both front and rear. For a 92-96 es300 order for a 92-96 camry v6. Whiteline sells them. For the strut brace order it from a 99-01 solara v6. heres a link for the strut brace
These are the cheapest place i've found this stuff and they are 100% reliable. If looking for whiteline products check out www.ctmotorsport.com he can also order a whiteline swaybar that may have been made for an es300. But i'm pretty sure it's going to be the same part # as a camry swaybar. The whitleine swaybar is a little thicker than the trd. but the trd is adjustable. TRD does not make a front swaybar. Some say that having a front swaybar will lessen or cancel the effect of having a larger rear swaybar. Im running only the trd rear swaybar. And don't feel the need for a front one. But then again I haven't tried it with one so...
Also remember to get the energy swaybar bushings with regreasable bushings. Without them they will after time start to squeek.
For the ES/camry's that can have a front sway bar. Leave it off, or stock (However it comes)
Correct TRDMCV20.
The only way you would need more front sway is if you seriously didn't match the rear one. IE put one way to thick & stiff on the back, and now you're oversteering horribly. Just stick to the rear sway bar + tower brace & reape the benifits.

The TRD Solara strut bar will fit any MCV20 model Camry or ES. Any MCV20 suspension from the Camry & Solara will work on the ES300 since it too is MCV20. You can use the TRD Rear Sway or the Whiteline Front and Rear sways for your ES.

Yes, because the Camry/Solara and ES are very front heavy cars, it's really not necessary to have the front sway bar. A good rear sway is plenty i.e. TRD Rear Sway.
