Hotchkis Tuning and TRD are the only companies that make the front and rear sway bar kits. I have Hotchkis and payed about $270 for them. I'm not sure how much the TRD ones are. I just checked Eibach's website and the dont offer sways for our cars, only springs. I have read though that only the reat sway is needed in conjunction with the stb because of the understeer, although I am very happy with both sways.
Devlop, where did you buy your Hotchkis set from for $270? I have the progress rear bar, but was considering going hotckis all around since I've already got their springs and am 150% happy with them perfect combo of comfort, performance, looks, and NO bottoming out/speed bump problems
Psychobroker - would you be interested in selling your rear bar if you get the hotchkis bars? also is there any truth to just needing the rear one only? I have the trd stb and friday I am getting the eibach pro kit installed...

I have the Hotchkis springs and sway bars and it is a great combo to make your car handle! The ride is a little stiff on our bad roads but that is because of the stiff rear springs. I had the sways on first( before the springs) and it compleatly transform the way the car drives. Well worth the $

where did you get your rear bar and how much if you don't mind me asking? From what I've read in Grass Roots Motors Sports mags and online, with a front wheel drive, understeering monster of ours, tighting up the back and leaving the front softer is the best combo. I know P-tuning has them, I've just been waiting for the warmth of spring, to buy and install. Now you have to hit some local Autocrosses, their cheap, fun and the most fun in a parking lot since high school
Looking to get a rear sway here.Not sure if I should go with TRD, Progress, or Hotchkis...Any feedback? Is there really a difference, or should I just go with the best price?NOT looking to get a STB (per MadBill's 100% scientific study proving it does nothing), so brand matching is not an issue.
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!
