Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Sway Bars - TRD or Better?

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...

hmmm, nobody has sways?

im going to get hotchkis sways eventually, but i got TRD 3point rear strut tower bar, and LOVE it

would you need an alignment if you get sway bars?

i thought Hotchkis made the best sways

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.

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.

hotchkis street sways... competition is way too stiff.

hotchkis street sways are stiffer

so you'd go with the hotchkis streets instead of TRD Sportivo's?

Yup

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
