Are you replace the OEM sway with OEM sway or thicker one?

I am sure you can find it, but you will need to update the bushings as well to take on the larger OD of the thicker sway bars.

I did this on my 911, simple swap.

Well, it appears even TRD does not make larger sway bars for our year, only rears for 02-08.

If you want to take corners faster then you may want try other things:

Stiffer bushings on the sway Bar i.e. poly bronze or other harder composite type bushings.
Stiffer drop links,
Camber Brace/Bar
More Negative Camber, front and back.
Lower all around.
Stiffer Struts all around
Stickier Soft Tires i.e. Dunlap Star Spec 1's

Caveat, doing this will harden the ride and wear out components faster and premature tire wear.

hahaha, you guys really should go do more research

TRD rear sway bar for the Solara fit fine, but it's discontinued and hard to find

whiteline makes rear sway bars as well, both Solara and Avalon ones fit. Avalon's is 20mm, thicker than the Solara's. that's the one i have right now.

you can check out the thing in my thread in my signature.

Nice, but I think he want to change the fronts as well. Good to know the other models will fit the rears.

front doesn't need changing, it's very beefy already
plus no aftermarket choices
and it requires the removal of the steering rack

Coils with a stiff spring rate would do the trick for ya.

Well if you want to keep the OEM ride then try the more Negative Camber Adjust and rear sways mod.

She will ride the same but you will be able to take the corners faster. The only thing is the tires will wear faster on the insides.
