I actually marked this wrong. I still have the steering rack bushings. When I got the TRD Sways they come with bushings for the sway bars.

It ain't no V8!! That I can say. But to me was the more dependable choice and it's still fun. Not much a big punch like the V8 on the highway though.

How much do trd sways run used usually? Does anyone have some?

Sewell sells the swaybars still. In regards to used, keep checking the FS thread. They come up sometimes. From memory around $300-$450.

Your GS looks outstanding! Reminds me of mine when I first got it and cleaned it up. Here's some updates that I did that I would recommend.

01 outer tail lights
chrome shift bezel
new floor mats (keep old ones as winter mats)
new first aid kit (old one is must likely unusable)
01 radio (to gain RDS)
01 center vent above climate control (to better match the rest of the center dash)
wood ashtray

Good luck!
