I don't think it will be very different from stock

ISF end links
You will be happy with any aftermarket sways for the 2GSX00. Absolutely the best handling improvement for the money. I bought the $150 set of the 30mm Front/20mm Rear off of Ebay. The car doesn't break loose in the front anymore, and if it does its because I'm at grip limits, so the rear breaks at the same exact time. It's traction (and traction loss) is perfectly balanced between all four corners. When I first got them put on, jumping in the seat didn't rock the car like before, and I knew some sharp turns would be fun. Now I would really not want to take these off or daily drive a car that doesn't feel like this. Preferably the best setup is stiffer springs/lowered/sways which is what I have. Even though coil overs are good at getting real low, sway bars are almost exponentially more effective at roll resistance.
My car was lowered 1" with Eibachs when I bought it, so the sway geometry in the rear will be off. If your car is lowered at all, the end links in the back will push up the bar too much. I bought two shorter ISF links and it's spot on now. They are also the same end links for the 3G ISX00, and I got a used pair on ebay for an OBO of about $40. The muffler shop did have to cut them slightly to fit in the 2G diff cradle. The part that bolts into the rear diff is too wide, so he used a cutter to trim about a 5/8" on each side to fit.

For future knowledge of those wondering, the ISF endlinks have a larger thread diameter than the factory GS rear endlinks. This means (in my experience) they will not fit in the holes of our sway bars without drilling them out to make them bigger. Hope this helps someone out

2000 GS300 going onto some Tein coilovers.
When upgrading the sway bars, what are the go to links for lowered GS'? I'd like to order everything in at once if possible.
