when i first bought my sc in december i did alot of research on here and that seemed to be the only option at the time- cant remember who confirmed it but it was enough for me to almost pull the trigger on the TRD rear for the 2GS....in the end i got rid of the RFT and went staggared and that was expensive (plus all my audio video mods) so i took a break. Maybe we should revist this?

Its exactly the opposite, the front sway bars are identical, but the rear are the different ones, the rears are different because of all the extra bracing the SC's have. If you do not believe me just pull up pictures of the two. I did extensive research and looked over tons of posts / pictures.

That one Member has an issue with his Daizen sway bars is unfortunate but doesn't mean that everyone should panic. From what I can see, no one else has ever reported issues like this. It is quite possible that he received a faulty bar, it does happen you know.

Contact Daizen and see what they say. You may have to take the vehicle to a Distributor for them to examine the damage.

The front upgrade would make the biggest difference.

Are you saying that the stock GS front sways are a lot better than the stock SC front sways? If so then something like this would make a big difference in how the SC handles? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-05...#ht_2261wt_859 or would you just need the links? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-FRO...#ht_1526wt_859

considering being the guinnea pig.. I am DESPERATE for reducing roll...

If GS fronts work, a set of wheels and coilovers will take care of the rest and i'd recon the ride would majorly improve
