Sway bar kit
20mm rear ey? And TRD and Daizen are about 19mm? I hope it's not too stiff with no "give" to the point it will just snap... also the unknown (at least to me) manufacturer makes me cautious.
Any long term update owners?

Are these the same one?

And thin bar is easier to break than thick, but the steel and heat treatment make all the difference.
I have never snapped a bar, it is uber rare.
I have 10k+ miles on my rear bar, no issues.
I wouldn't be surprised if all the aftermarket bars are made by one company. TRD very likely does not make them, they just contract the out and sell them with huge markup.

Regarding the sway bar kits from Ebay for 130 from EMUSA(Modspartsdepot) here is a message from the manufacturer.
At this time we will not be manufacturing anymore of these sway bars.

Damn that sucks. Hopefully someone else will come out with a cheaper set soon than the trds($630) or daizens($499).

Another member said he worked for "whiteline" and was going to produce these. I wonder what happened?
