Default Guidance Needed - Suspension Mods

Sooooooooooooooooo.... I'm starting a mod binge for some reason. Installed Supra TT calipers. Wow, a must have. Stable, linear, powerful braking. Every SC430, I think should have this. Had to have 20mm spacers in order to clear the brakes with the factory 18x8. Also added 35mm spacers which significantly altered the driving dynamics of the car. Less body roll, more planted feeling. Does introduce more bumps into the cabin as wider track gives the wheel more leverage on the suspension. Also a con is reduced turning radius. My 15 Escalade have better turning radius now.. Added Cusco strut bar that I bought at Toyotafest (AWESOME PRICE, thanks guys!!!!) made the car even tighter. Speeds 60mph+ is more stable. Steering is more precise. No more major flex when turning or over bumps. Must have for me.

Mods in the pipeline= Poly steering bushings, poly control arm bushings, wider bigger wheels,better tires, coilovers

Now the question. I have headache searching it but no one has simple straight answer.

ISF Sway bars fit. What end links should I use? SC or ISF? What bushings should I use? SC or ISF?

2GS OEM front sway bars fit (apparently). Same questions as above. Also, if that theory is correct, will a thicker aftermarket front sway for 2GS fit SC?


Let me know please. My trigger finger is itching to buy those so I can put on the bar already.

Please post what you find on the sway bars . Been looking to do that mod but I wasn't sure if that mod would work if I'm lowering the car on 20's . Thanks
