Sways help
Front and rear should be $450 - $550 new and $350 - $400 used. Only the Daizens are rear adjustable. The TRDs are not.

Do Not Change Your Rear Bar Only!!!

This chassis is already at the verge of imbalance with the bars that are on there, any more rear bar will create a severely oversteering condition, that I can pretty much guarantee will put your car into a wall or over the side of the road. This is no joke, I am deadly serious.
It is VERY important to use matched sway bars on this chassis. You can get away with a front bar only, as it will simply understeer heavily. But NEVER UPGRADE THE REAR BAR ONLY.

Uh oh, I'm really confused now.
I was thinking just to put lower front and rear sway bars from the same company, I guess (TRD) as you have all suggested.
Is THIS setup still good ?
Todd from TM Engineering knows his stuff so I'm glad he's chimed in on this topic.
YellowRace, heed his words. As far as my knowledge is concerned, I've only had experience with my car. Todd (DoubleWhoosh) has had experience with plenty and knows his info pretty damn well.

Why are you confused? All Todd meant was not to upgrade the rear bar ONLY. If you stay with a matched set, you should be fine.
I'm one of those who upgraded the rear bar only, and not the front. I went with TRD and I can attest Doublewhoosh's warning. Whenever I'm on a 270 degree freeway exit, you can tell the car is oversteering. Luckily, for me, I don't drive my car hard at all so I got away with having the rear bar only. BUT, if there was ever a situation where you need to make a sharp turn, you can bet your car will be out of control.
