No worries, let's all keep ourselves safe during these times. But if things get better and 99%+ safe and you'd like some help, feel free to ping me.

And thanks for the link to your front sway bar install. I gotta get one of these ordered for a winter upgrade while it collects dust in the garage!

Painted it red since the blue paint was peeling off when I cleaned it. Also bought the SuperPro 31mm poly bushing (SPF4441-31L) since it's the only option and I'm glad I did.


original color

SuperPro poly bushing

Original swaybar vs TRD swaybar

And it's in.
what are those silver things on the bar beside the bushings? Are those oem on the car? I don't remember seeing those on my sway bar

They are the stopper to prevent the swaybar from moving left-right. It's soldered on the original OEM swaywar of the sc430. However on the TRD swaybar they are hard rubber + stainless steel cable tie.

OK. Yeah the GS300 doesn't have those stoppers. Now I understand why FIGS was telling me to get some "bar lockers" from them to stop the shifting of the bar. I noticed the megan bar i recently got has the stoppers as part of the bar.
