Strut Bar and Sway Bar are 2 different things ...

Strut Bar [aka: Strut Tower Brace] is the thing that goes under your hood and ties the top of the struts together ... Sway Bar [aka: Stabilizer Bar] goes under the car and ties the two sides together

lemme know which kind you want, and ill let you know which brands are the best quality and where u can purchase one

either way, ebay is not the correct place

[sk8ersublime]

i want a RSB.

[prnc_chrmng]

you can contact raptorracing here on TN (check the vedor sectoin at the bottom if i spelled his name right) he can get yall new whiteline strut braces and RSBs

Oh, so they're 2 different things... I had no idea, as you can probably tell by now.

I guess I was right in referring to a "strut bar".

So I want a strut bar.

[Venom_5]

oh ok .... well you can get one by Arospeed, Freedom Designs, or Whiteline

whatever you do, dont get the cheap ebay knockoff

Save up a little more and get the sway bar instead... It makes a HUGE difference.

[N35QU!K]

haha, I was actually thinking of getting one of those too.

I actually build R/C cars and I know that sway bars make a HUGE difference.

Swaybar > Strut bar.

And if you're buying new, I think they'll be around the same price. Although, on ebay you can find STBs for 40 bucks...

RSB's esp TRD's are awesome..do a search and u'll find threads on them! (My favorite mod so far!!) Made a hell of a difference in handling!

[Venom_5]

Rear Sway bars and Strut Bars arent even similar items, you cant compare the two ...

ideally, you want both - since they both function differently

[N35QU!K]

Ok, so back to my original question.

Where can I find a Sway Bar? I've tried googling it before, and all that comes up is "sway bar bushings", etc.

And for that matter, what does a strut bar do anyways?

[Venom_5]

a Strut Bar ties the tops of the two struts together, so basically if one moves, the other should move too

a Sway bar ties the lower half of two struts together ... same purpose, different function

sway bar > strut bar at reducing body roll and improving handling ... BUT a strut bar is $30 whereas a sway bar is $150+

you can get a TRD Swaybar from resident members here ... PM eyeball96 to ask where he got his .... you can get a Whiteline Sway Bar from Raptorracing on this website, but hurry cuz i think the price is going up soon
