TT Supra Sways
TT Supra Sways
I have interest in TT Supra sway bars for both the front and back and I heard the front swaps right in and the rear requires the subframe mounts. My question is, how hard is it install the subframe mounts and how much better handling would I get out of these sway bars vs. Daizen sway bars?

Very interested in doing this in the next few months as well. I managed to find some info in this post from CLNSC3:

I have had my sc on a road course a couple of times and have done a few autoxs with it. Here are some observations I have made:
-Sway bars are necessary. You will find the SC understeers pretty bad at the limit. At the least I would recommend going with factory TT supra pieces. These are what I am currently running and helped balance the car very well, it also corners much flatter. It will still understeer slightly at the limit, but it is nothing compared to running on stock sways.

fronts are identical on the supra and the sc so swapping the front in is a waste of time and money.
rear sway is easy. stock sway bar is held with 2 bolts on each side. to install the supra subframe mount you unbolt the stock ones, while supporting the rear subframe with a jack or trans jack, and unbolting 4 bolts on each side. supra rear bar is bolted to the new rear subframe mount.
supra rear bar is same diameter as the sc but is stiffer due to its geometry.

Ill say i love my daizen & thing the best thing about them + being stiffer, is there is 3 setting on the rear. understeer,neutral,oversteer. easy adjustment @ the track. i paid my 5bills on them, wish there were cheeper. if your gonna go supra @ least get the TRD's there stiffer, i dont think IMO near as stiff as daizen,& no adjustable rear.

Good stuff...
I was also wondering, what is it that I need to change when I have bigger wheels on my car to make the handling feel stock. The SC has the speed sensitive power steering and when I had my 19's on, it felt like that option was gone and my steering wasn't tight enough. When I have my stock 16's on the steering feels beautiful.

Im stretching and going out on a limb...
16's are lighter, when you steer your rack bushings are not as strained to turn the wheel. 19's are heavier, rack bushings are giving more, looser steering...?
Regardless, heavier wheels feel different on the steering.
So sway bars/strut bar won't necessarily help my situation?
