trd.
whineline.

springs/shocks b4 swaybars.

i have no use for an aftermarket rsb with my current sprig/shock combo -- i have heavy oversteer on throttle, lift off, no throttle... only time i understeer is when i power from a standstill, but then everyone gets that in a fwd/open diff.

Question

anyone know where i can find a Whiteline FSB? I tried this...

http://www.185performance.com

But they're out of stock and never replied to me since then. It's good for a price of around $150.

what's the size of the stock sway bars? and what's a good size in general? i want my car to have a little oversteer and a friend of mine told me that a big rear sway bar does the trick.

Hey jspec_racing,

The stock sway bars on my 1999 V6 were 17mm front, 16mm rear.
I installed a Whiteline set: 24mm front, 20mm rear.

If you picked up a TRD rear, it is a 19mm adjustable.
The inner most setting is about 21mm stiffness.

If you were looking at Intrax or Addco, they are 22mm front, 19mm rear

Here are the Whiteline US distributors I know of:
http://www.globalperformanceparts.com
http://www.185performance.com/cgi-bin/performance/
http://www.ctmotorsport.com

I have purchased 2 sets of the Whiteline from 185. (Put a set on an ES300)
I always dealt with Josh at 185.

A few pics of the Whiteline
