Reviews section didn't help much so -



I'm looking into getting sways. First option for me is always TRD. Anything better than the Regular/Sportivo sway bars?

Also, for people with sways on, how much better can you handle turns? Explain advantages please...

would you need an alignment if you get sway bars?

I Have TRD sway bars I am Happy with them.

But remember I never had any other kind.

As far as handling differences unless you intend on driving into corners real hard under extreme conditions you won't notice a difference between stock and upgrade.

I got them for 2 reasons
1. Because I could.
2. Because I like the road racing aspect better than drag racing.


IT IS WHAT IT IS AND EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING.

I got the trd's like them a lot but they were quite heavy pulling them out of the package. Heavier than stock in fact. SO i would say hindsite i would have gone with hotchkiss as they are hollow where trds are solid. The trds made a huge difference though and with tein coilovers it feels glued to the road.

I'm with you, my first option is TRD, plus toyota can't bitch if something goes wrong and blame it on the aftermarket

exactly.. Even though the Magnusson-Moss Act protects end-users with aftermarket parts, Toyota will have absolutely no reasons to complain if it's TRD thumbsup
