Yes I'm CERTAIN the front won't work. Rear sway you need the end links and the rear subframe mounts---this is where the sway bushing hold down bolts to.

Oh ok. Just to make sure, does that mean you'd need to weld the mounts?

There is a company based in Australia that makes them, the members of Clubaristo are trying to see if they'll ship overseas, and are trying to do a group buy off them. do a quick search on there to see if you can find the name, i've misplaced the name of the company off the top of my head

Here's a couple of shots of the TT swaybar on my GS. I also used the stock TT mounts and endlinks.





The mounts on the Sub-frame mounts are clearly visible.

Here's a good thread that documents the difference

Got mine installed. Overall the install wasn't terribly difficult but there were two studs for brake line brackets directly in the way of removing the GS subframe mount. I had to dremel these off in order to remove the stock mounts. After that install was a breeze. To note, I could NOT use the Supra end links and had to use the GS end links. The Supra end link was off by 90 degrees from fitting where as the GS links fit perfectly. Also you will need to use a grinding bit on a dremel to route out one of the subframe bracket holes to align all four bolts. Just a heads up.

I think your thinking of whiteline. They no longer offer them as an off the shelf product, but were willing to do a short run of them if we had 20+ sets made.
