Default Needing Suspension help - noob warning

Hi, I have a 99 gs 400 that I have been fixing up and restoring - it's getting there it is lowered on Megan adj. coils

I was wanting to upgrade my sway bars in the front and rear (from the forums sounds like a worthwhile upgrade)

I cannot find TRD but I can find the Megan or figs set

Where I am needing help - so my car is lowered and I buy sway bars and bushings. what else do I need to buy to complete this install - do I need to purchase the rear traction rods and control arms? what about the front what do I need to purchase for the front? Megan's website doesn't even offer anything for the front for my vehicle.

This is a daily driver car, not a track car. but its fun to get aggressive with it around the bends every once and a while and would great to reduce the body roll etc. ( i live in Oregon so lots of fun roads)

thank you for all your help.

Get the FIGs/Superpro sway bars. They are very similar to the TRD bars and all you need (should replace) for the install is front and rear end links for the sway bars. The bushings will come with the bars if you order from FIGs. I have TRD front and superpro rear and there is a LOT less body roll but the ride is not affected at all.
