I just want to get rid of the body roll, will these do the job? or will i need to add more?

Don't think i will get springs or coilovers though../
Not speaking from experience, just an educated guess but he 23mm bar might be too much - especially with the stock suspension. You don't want the car to become overly rigid.

I would get the 19mm Rear Sway.

Sorry I haven't had time to take pics of the strut bar - been out of the country and then just busy with work.

After driving with the strut bar for awhile - I can honestly say I'm not sure it makes a humongous difference, but the car isn't any worse off with it versus the stock strut bar. Steering response seems to be the biggest change with the car responding to direction changes better.

Being that the ES is a front wheel drive car you will feel a larger difference installing the rear sway as opposed to the front strut bar. I called a local distributor today and was quoted about ~250 for it.

I recently e-mailed an eBay seller called "vvinterbiz" and he said the 2.4L is different compared to the 3.5L Camry's. His eBay listing is "GENUINE UR TOYOTA CAMRY 2.4 '07 REAR ANTI-ROLL 19MM SWAY BAR". He e-mailed me and said it may not fit on the Camry 3.5L's. Although I am actually putting this on my ES350, I believe the 2007 Camry 3.5L and the ES350 shares the same chassis. Anyways, can anyone confirm if it fits or not? And is the bar designed differently if you car is left hand drive or right hand drive?

Thanks

Lol what? Hes just trying to cover his butt in case it doesn't fit. Guys on Toyota Nation use it on their i4 and v6's regardless of year. However, ANYTHING you put on a car that isn't technically designed for it is a risk. Just keep that in mind my ES brother
