If money is no object, by all means, go with Figs. If things are tight, but you'd like to see some improvement without breaking the bank, I think you'll be very happy with these. They won't make a stock suspension handle like it's on rails, but it will reduce roll noticeably, and increase confidence when pushing the lateral limits.

That's my impression, but take this with a grain of salt, given I'm running on really crappy snow tires at the moment, and blown shocks. Tein CS coils go on Friday or the following Tuesday, and I'll have more to say then.

if the the eBay bars are solid like the TRD and Figs then both brands offer the same improvement... the subtle difference will be in the rubber vs poly bushings... My TRD came with rubber bushings but i bought MOOG poly bushings when these wear out...

I'm running some BC extreme coils, trd front strut bar, hankook v12 tires 275r 245f and currently have poly bushing on the stock sway bars. Im wondering what kind of improvement its going to make over stock. I also got a rear strut bar that im going to install after seeing the results from the sway bars.

The bars made a huge difference! When i added the rear strut bar it made everything tighter. My only complaint after adding the rear strut bar was creaking coming from the roof area when going into parking lots or driveways on an incline.

Haha nah I'm pretty sure the Figs sway bars are a lot better compared to these because #1 they're solid (i believe) and #2 they're Figs!

I just installed the fronts but the OEM Bushings / brackets for the rears were too small. Does anyone know where I can get bushings / brackets that will fit the 20mm rear sway?

Will these work with the stock endlinks + Daizen bushings?
