Any long term update owners?

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.
- modpartsdepot

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?

Create an account with Sewell and register your CL name and you will get a discount. I just checked and for me the price is coming up $472.73 + shipping.

I don't think they make the sways but they do make a strut bar, lower bar and rear lower bar.
