Stay away from RMM (Intrax) sway bars.

You can always trust on TRD. I'm not sure if TOM'S makes any sway bars.

No, not cusco
Addeco or whatever the spelling. They specialize in swaybars. However, honestly I don't know much about the rear suspension setup of the GS 400. I looked at pics of the 6 piece Tom's suspension. If the GS has a weird configuration or something then, most likely they don't fabricate the swaybar for that model.

Oh, I also found out some info (dunno if I should say from who...witness protection program...) about why there aren't many JDM tuners that make sway for the GS...

I guess when a new car comes out from Toyota, TRD has first dibs on what they want to make "exclusively"...I guess the sways were one of them...

American company?

If even some of the smarter people on CL don't know about it, it probably has little of no reputation.

Unless you're even THAT MUCH smarter than us?
