edit:

I'm using Tanabe Sustec Stabilizers for the TT Supra. Chrome-molybdenum = lighter weight.

In my experiences with Largus for cars like the AE86 and S13, they are a tad aggressive for a street car. I'm not sure about their application for the SC300.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

I'm pretty sure that Largus is focusing on the Drift sector.
That is their main market.

The fronts bolt right up. You will have to get the Supra Sub-frame mounts for the rear.

ANybody done a homemade rig????

stevechumo is onto something-- bracing it up by adding material would be a good idea-- like welding half-pipe along the center or angle iron-- but half pipe would be more rigid--

Like so many things in the car world, sway bars aren't exactly a "these are the best" kind of mod. Sway bar size/resistance should be chosen to match and compliment your current suspension setup. Don't go grabbing the largus bars and throwing them on your otherwise stock car and expect them to make a huge handling difference. Those sway bars are clearly designed for an extreme track-ready suspension setup. If your suspension is near stock look at the TT bars, or if you've got a few mods daizen's would probably suit you well. I'm not sure on the TRD bar specs, but they are designed for a supra unless you are prepared to adjust your suspension around them, don't expect miracles.

Sway-bars aren't mean't to improve handling, they use them to balance the cars sure stiffer bars will improve handling, but they are much better and shifting understeering cars towards neutral handling cars then they are at making the car stick better in general.

I can get Supra sway bars, new, from the dealer for $135 front & rear. I didnt look into the TRDs, is there a noticable difference besides the price? I can get those at employee cost too. schweeeeeeet.

Nope. Daizens require only a little work to get in, and match up to existing SC hardware. There's a small plate for each side on the front (that I forgot to put on) that helps with clearance of the bar. I have the Daizen's, they were expensive as **** but I really like them. I'm just running TT struts, looking to move to coilovers in the future if/when I have money. Decent difference, but really for my current mods, I probably should've done TT sways for now.

Money wise = not really worth it

But those things are pretty damn beefy, they make the stockers look like twigs.

Titan Motorsports, meant for the supra so you have to get the sub mounts, but they are adjustable for your purpose- DD or track
