Bump. Anyone?

 

I have been stop to look for upgrade after reading the higher roll over risk sticker on the car. (this is my first suv). But the closest thing I find (by look, no measurement have been done) are sway bar from IS.
But I would against upgrade the sway bar as it increase the cornering load and make it more easy to tip over.

 

High risk of rollover? SUV ?
The NHTSA rates it as 4 stars out of a possible 5 with a 14.3% chance of rollover.
I'll take those chances.

 

After I saw this in my car...(I know, they would warn you for anything..)

But I will say a car is easier to tip over then you think.

this is my lowered contour with lowered suspension(proper set up with H&R spring and Koni strut, svt rear sway bar) that roll over in a 2nd gear turn. Maybe with this pass experience, I am a bit chicken after saw that sticker on my car.

 

I've been hoping someone makes a replacement or add on bar to improve the roll over. the H&R springs haven't done enough to improve the handling.

Woudln't adding a sway bar make it more difficult to roll over the vehicle?

 

my point is with a larger sway bar, you would take corner faster then you are now. Then with our car high roll center and high grip from the stock fat tire. I would against doing so even I was the one started this thread.

Beside doing lapping day, I also race radio control car as hobby in the past. I have a modded monster truck and tip it over was easy if turn too sharp at speed.

 

Having a anti-roll device on the front or rear would make the car more stable on bends and emergency maneuvers by keeping the car more level with the road surface and tires in contact with the road. The overall ride of the vehicle isn't affected since the bar only comes into play when the car corners.

 

I'd still be interested in having this done. Maybe custom work from a suspension shop..

 

Anyone look at the Highlander rear swaybar to see if it is beefier & if it would fit?

 

No, high lander or Rav4 or RX350 don't event look close.

But you may need to upgrade the sway bar bracket as it look very weak.
Good luck and let us know the result

 

If anything I would look into Lexus.I doubt any Toyota will have a stronger/larger sway bar. Sedans Camry/corolla won't and SUVs don't usually have better ones either. I bet our best hope would be IS, GS, or F type.
