I'm going with Daizen's too. Supra one's will fit after some modding, but since Daizen sway bars are the only ones made specifically for our cars ..... theres really not much of a choice.

Those daizen bars (btw, the heck does dst stand for?) are THICK! That thing felt like I was lifting a barbell.

I have the Daizen bars, and am completely satisfied with them. I purchased Stillen Supra sways first, because they were less than half the price. To anyone with an SC400, the Stillen front bar will not fit. The center section of the bar is tipped back further and hits the oil filter mount when the front end compresses. To anyone with an SC300, want to buy my Stillen sway bars?
