Default FIGS/SuperPro Sway Bars

Has anyone used these FIGS/SuperPro Sway bars for their cars? I'm assuming they are good products, since FIGS is known for quality stuff. Thanks!

The kit is brand new. I have ordered a lot through FIGS and trust me I would have bought this in a heartbeat if they had it a 2 months ago. Sadly I spent way more for the cusco ones that didn't come with endlinks.

Could you give us a short little review with pictures? I'm thinking about purchasing them in the near future. How long did shipping take? Did you have stock sways on before? Are you on coils or air?

I think the TRD's are thicker in comparison... 31mm front and 19mm real i think...

I thought these would be priced around what the TRD's costs....

I actually thought at one point he said they'd be priced lower... but I'm guessing I was mistaken.

Well I mean they have pictures on figs website...shipping is pretty fast as usual. I preordered them back in late November so by the time they got them I had them the same week. I only had poly sway bushings on my stock sway bars before. I have tein cs coilovers. Not sure the difference between these and trd, but these are solid bars and I think trd are hollow? I love the stability of these though, I keep taking the winding roads for fun now.

Daizen is hollow, TRD is solid

The TRD bars have been very hard to find lately.

Does any one else have any experience from the Figs sway bars?

Right now I have a 30mm hollow front and 20mm hollow rear, but the Figs bars are 30mm solid front and 19mm solid rear. They quote 75% stiffer front, and 215% stiffer rear.

From those numbers, and being that the stock bars are 28.5mm front and 14mm rear, I would guess the bars I have now are only maybe 15% stiffer in the front and maybe 40% in the rear

Just got the rear sway bar and I cant seem to get the OEM bracket to fit over the new purple bushings, what did you guys do to get it to fit? Did you need to use longer bolts since the new bushings are thicker than the OEM bushings?

What sway bar did you buy and what bushings are you trying to use?

Like the tread title says, I have a rear FIGS/Superpro sway bar and I am trying to use the bushings that came with it. I have read that some people received the wrong bushings and had FIGS sent smaller replacement bushings that fit the OEM bracket.
