4th Generation Question about Camry suspension

Hey Guys,
I've got a Gen 4 Camry and I am looking to purchase a TRD rear sway bar. I was wondering if anyone can offer me some advice. I have heard a couple myths that I want to check-
- if i get a rear sway, is it neccessary to get a front sway
- with a rear sway, do I need to change my shocks and struts so that the ride doesnt become too stiff and uncomfortable

Basically I am wondering if I just get a rear sway, how will the ride quality be

If anyones got experience with this, help me out.

no and no, keyword need. of course changing the shocks and springs would give better handling on top of the sway

ride quality would be about the same until you take a turn

The TRD bar can be hard to come by. If you are unsuccessful, you could contact raptorracing in the Supporting Vendor forum and get a Whiteline bar.

Contact NVDIS1 on solarguys...thats where I got mine... I have them on both coupes and it the best mod u can do IMO!...u'll love it!

U don't need to replace anything to put it on, and the ride remains the same, but the handling..wow!

Actually, the stiffer the sway bar, the less independent your left and right suspension setup becomes and too stiff a bar will make the ride go to crap.

If you have it on the "track" setting, and you do it just right, you actually get oversteer.

Road cars these days have ridiculous understeer built into them, and to have the rear try to step out as you take a corner...It's an awesome feeling.
