you'll need the control arms as well for the front if you got a gts front sway bar....I used an all-trac sway bar on mine, the sway bar link bolts into the dx control arm. From what I've seen the gts' have a small bracket welded on to the control arm where the sway bar links attach.....
there is a pic or two on the link that show the bracket needed for a gts sway bar http://forums.club4ag.com/zerothread?id=39279
thanks man, i'm aware, i intended to fab and weld the tab onto the control arms.

sweet...I didn't do my homework when I got my first set of sway bars...
Perhaps you can answer this question for me...since many answers i've found are conflicting...even if i can't find stock rear brackets/bushings i should be able to use aftermarket ones...(I have to drill holes into the body as mine has no pre-drilled holes )
With the front though, the sway bar needs specially designed brackets to bolt to the sub-frame/body? or does it simply bolt under the sub frame with a bushing? It looks like it is a looped piece of metal that wraps around the bushing and is bolted to the body along with the sub frame, correct?
Also does anyone know the stock diameters of the sway bars?

The front OEM GTS sway bar needs the rear control arm brackets from a GTS because it (the sway bar) bolts to that rear control arm bracket and then that bracket then bolts to the body/subframe.
Got um from toyota, thanks guys I will be doing a full detailed write up on how to install the bars on a sedan when finished including build pictures.

no pre-drilled holes ? that sucks....I was so lucky that mine not only had the holes where the mounts bolt in,they still had the plugs they installed at the factory so dirt wouldn't get in there.....

Lucky...It is possible the holes are there...but the underside of the car was coated for rust when new...however there are no dimples or protrusions indicating there are any holes or plugs there...i may find out when i start to drill though.
I hope i will have a drill bit long enough to go all the way through, that's my only worry...not much of one though because i can just buy a longer one XD
