Canada Debating on bars.......

crazy winter is almost over, thinking about mods again. This time a rear sway bar. Thinking about the TRD sway ofcoz, but I am just wondering should I buy a ultra racing 19mm to go with the stock, or just TRD. I know two of them together will be ideal.

But this question is always on my mind:

Stock with ultra racing 19mm vs TRD.......will 2 bars take the win?

I won't get two at the moment, only one. I got my money set aside for a set of potenza re-11.

I think TRD rear sway bar and UR rear strut bar would be a better combo

Since I have both, I would do the TRD bar first & than add the UR 19mm RSB later if you want even more.

I feel like people haven't really awnsered your question haha..
I dont have either bar, however using common logic it seems that the 2 bars would be better than one in this case..
Seeing how the stock bar is just thicker/larger and made of possibly a stronger material it will only make so much of a difference.. Versus getting an all new brace for the car would give more

How did I not answer his question? I said to replace the stock OEM bar with the TRD bar as it's a lot larger & stiffer. After that I would add the UR 19mm RSB if he wants even better handling. The other option that wasn't mentioned is that he could also add the UR lower chassis braces to allow all the other bars work even better.

No problem, I was just surprised as I said to just do the TRD RSB to begin with as he said he only wanted to do one item for now.

thanks for the input guys....I think I will get the TRD rear sway first then. Together with what I have on the car, with the nice set of RE-11, i should be good for now.

You will love the TRD RSB, the difference is huge compared to stock.

+2

it made a very big difference.

You should attempt the DIY rear strut brace if you have anyone to do it for you or the tools and know how yourself. Takes about half an hour and makes a big difference

I made front and rear strut bars for my S, it was fairly easy. Since then, I bought a new welder and a friend just spent a ton of money on metal fabricating equipment for his shop, which I have access to, meaning making both is now even easier. So ... I could easily make them for you, PM me and we can discuss.
