Pretty Please!!! So many of us are interested in doing this because there really aren't any readily available sways for our cars and we are anxious to put on some sway bars from the Supra if they fit.

Default just wondering?

Hey all-

I was just wondering how much the fatter sways will affect the ride? Having never driven an SC or Supra, will we get all the cornering help without sacrificing too much ride comfort? My car is already lowered, and I do not want too bumpy a ride...

Correctly installed the sway bars wont affect the ride in a straight line. Picture the sway bar mounts and how they are parallel to each other. When the suspension moves the bar moves up and down at the same time. When you hit a corner the car loads one side of the suspension and hence the sway bar pushing down on the other side at the same time.

Does anyone know if there's also a chance the Supra sways might fit on the front too?

C'mon Indy, we're waiting!

He's here alot but hasn't posted anything about it yet...If they do fit then we could either run the SC or the daizen rear sways...Then all that is left is the front..

I know. Once he confirms it we will have a few more modding options open to us. Maybe when Lexus4Jess is helping Indy mod his SC he can take a look at the GS for us.

BTW, what plugs did you end up getting for your car: Denso iridiums or NGK iridiums?
