Finally put on a Strut bar....

Looks great!
Excuse the mildly idiotic question, but why dosen't anyone every touch or add a rear sway bar? The front will definately reduce some of the pathetic body roll and improve feeling, but in a FWD car I'd rather have more grip in the front. Meaning more rear.
I've never even looked under to see if these ahve a rear sway bar, but if I were doing one, I'd do the other.
Anyone want to enlightned me on why we're only sticking one on the front?

but hey.... i got the same problem as u do... i went to the toyota dealership..the parts guy said..
me:"can i have a toyota solara strut bar"
guys:"i havent sell any of it before, does the solara came with a strut bar?"
(he come out to the lot and check out the solara to see if there really is a strut bar for solara)
guys:" ok.. i got it"
the totally process take like 20min...
for the TRD strut bar.. it is going to have the clearance issue to put it on a ES...if u want to fit it into ur ES u need to have some modifcation...
but anyway here is the parts # for the TRD strut bar 0060253607100 - Strut Brace designed for the Solara

strut bar
I am glad you said the aftermarket may have some fit problems, I am going to put one on I thought I liked the looks of an after market with aluminin finish but now I think I will go with the stock one if it fits better and I am sure it is stronger. Its not like I will be poping the hood much.
Hoebag, have you put on the rear sway bars yet, or any one else? I have been looking for a place on the net that sells the whiteline, Any ideas?
I put on 18 x 8.5 wheels and they fit nice but I am getting rubbing while cornering hard. mainley on the drivers side when making hard right turns.
after I try the sway bar thing my next step is to roll the fenders.
I will post pics of the new wheels as soon as I get my camera fixed.
