These are from mach1nttcoupe correct? I bought his rear brakes and wanted his subframe mounts as well but he said you had dibs on them so if you dont pick them up, i will
As far as price goes, its a good price. Im sure you can do better, but waiting for a better deal may take centuries. They can be had for cheaper but there arent exactly alot of them on the market since only about 1% of supra owners will ever have a set for sale for any reason. New they are $80 each i think so youre going to be saving a nice chunk of change. If youre going to pass on it let me know so i can call henri back before he ships my brakes =)

If you increase the size of the front bar, you will increase understeer. Overall the car will be flatter though, so it won't be so bad that it will cause a problem. It will actually cause a handling increase that will make you think there is more oversteer, but in actuality it is just that it is helping the car overall that it makes things seem that way.
Upgrading the rear bar is what will cause oversteer.
Just my $0.02

yeah, helpful thread, though Post 12 is wrong. The fact is the rear sway bar is the same thickness however it is SHAPED DIFFERENTLY (shorter) therefore making it stiffer.
Also, you should really do this at the same time!!!! : Swaybar Bushings-- $12.99 -- Energy Suspension-- Installed and awesome--

So.... you guys are saying that the Supra TT front bar is different than the SC bar...? and how did we get to this conclusion if they are the same shape and size? I bought one (front) and I never put it in because I read everywhere else it was the exact same.
The rear is a different story... dont know what to pay for the subframe mounts, $50-$100 for a set sounds right... I got them included in my f/r white lines for $220 all together..
