Will do. Current suspension:
Factory shocks with 140k
Tanabe NF210 Springs
Factory sways
Factory rear sway bushings
Poly front sway bushings
Planning on installing poly rear sway bushings along with the new bars.
The car needs shocks, and I have some Bilstein HD's to put on, but collecting new shock mounts etc., and need to find a great deal on new front upper control arms - probably SPC to correct my minor caster issue and get camber back into spec. Planning to do all that when I put summer wheels/tires back on in a month or so.

Unfortunately the TRD bar comes with rubber sway bushings but i ordered some MOOG poly 31mm to use when these wear out for under $20 on Amazon. Its going to be night and day difference when everything is buttoned up and installed...

Just haven't had a chance to install yet. Hopefully Mon-Tues.
That said, I still have worn out factory shocks with my NF210's, so I don't know that my review will necessarily be the most relevant.
I will be using poly bushings, modified for the new diameters.

Okay, I've had them on for 4 days now.
DIsclaimer, my current setup is:
That being said, I am pleased with the result. If you've gone from stock sway bushings to poly bushings on factory bars, I would say adding these bars makes about equal difference. I was expecting a bit more, but I think for a daily driver, it's probably perfect. Even with my horrible snow tires I have much greater confidence accelerating into turns. I think you would want a more aggressive setup for autox or anything like that, but then again you'd probably want a lighter car for that too, right?
If you have any questions let me know. All in all, I'm very satisfied. And they're red. Because racecar.
DIsclaimer, my current setup is:
- 17x8 wheels with 225 front and 245 rear crappy snow tires with on road feel or lateral support.
- Tanabe NF210 springs on original shocks with 140k mi that are on their way out.
- Poly bushings that were made for stock bars, that had to be drilled out a bit to make space for the new ones.

Mine the rear was black and front red. Are yours both red?
I wish the rear was 2-3 mm thicker. It just needs to be stiffer if you ask me!
As Herb Adams said "Ive never see too big of a sway bar"
