I just installed the Daizen Sway Bars and I am very pleased with them.
The quality is excellent and the handling improvement is far better than the Supra TT setup.
The ride quality is still excellent and I think is a great improvement.

 

How much did you get them for?

 

don't they retail for around 500 or so,,, i've been wondering myself if they are worth the extra cash.

 

I bought them from TM Engineering for $500.00

 

I had the same question and I installed the Supra TT bars first, thinking that maybe the Daizen did not worth the extra money.
With the Supra TT bars you have a 50% handling improvement but I was concerned of how close was the front bar with the oil filter in the SC400.
With the Daizen you have a 100% improvement over stock and if you have the money it will be the choice.
I do not use my car in any type of racing but I like to drive hard when ever I can and now I can take corners faster than before.

 

Good to know.


and btw, you stole my real name... PJ Fernandez

 

What was the symptom that caused you to replace the sway bars?

 

It sounds like he loves to drive hard and hit them corners! Perfect reasoning for upgrading the sway bars from the stocks. I'm not too satisfied w/ the stocks myself.

 

Me neither Derek, but I don't have 5 hunnit bones to drop on some sways either

 

From my understanding, the Daizen bars are the thickest sway bars available. HOWEVER, just because they are the most aggressive,..doesn't mean that this is the sole reason to purchase these bars.

A sway bar that is too stiff...means that at the limit (when taking a turn), you will suddenly feel the car "snap" whereas w/ a softer bar...you'll be able to gradually feel the car "snap". This will help you in being able to recover a car from a turn.

I've seen the Daizen bars. I've driven in a car w/ them installed. My personal preference would be to go for something less aggressive. Seems like everyone is raving about Daizen sway bars on the basis of their thickness/aggressiveness...w/ little consideration for the potential side effects.

 

i'll be getting these soon and I'll have my Supra TT sways for sale with the subframe bushings if anyone wants them =)

the daizen bars are great. just make sure you grease the bushings!

 

The only reason to change the stock sway bars was to improve the handling of my car that was too soft for my taste. But they were design like that by Lexus.
The Supra setup is a nice improvement over stock and probably if the front bar was not that close to the oil filter I would not have change them. On the SC400 the Supra front bar is underneath the oil filter with only a small clearance contrary to the stock that is in front of the engine.
The Daizen are thicker and heavier than the stock and Supra TT bars and I have read comments that this is not good for normal driving for different technical reasons but so far I am very pleased with them.
So far after a week of daily driving the bars has not "snap" in any corner or the car has handle in any uncontrollable way.

 

how does this do in the deletion of understeer?

 

you can use the settings on the rear bar to tune for understeer/oversteer. If you go with a stiffer setting on the rear bar youll tend to oversteer more than stock
