Sway bars - 2011
What are our options for sway bars at this time? I'd like to try and put something together in this format so we have a quick way to reference options. E.g Brand // notes // diameter // cost // link. Eventually I'd like to have a little bible here of the factory options in terms of diameter and cost in each year (I think the fronts changed size twice and the rear changed thrice). I searched for "sway bar" and couldn't find anything specifcally like this on the 1st/2nd pages. I don't want to list "stiffness" percentages because this could all subjective to each manufacturer. If anyone has the inner/outer wall numbers, hollow or not, that would be amazing but I figure that would be hard to come by.
[SC model factory information] *Only number I have is 30.1mm from an old forum post, but I don't know what year or model this is for. I'm pretty sure the rear size changed somewhere in 1992-2000 so I wish we could get that info.

1995-1996: (f) xx mm (r) xx mm

Great idea!
The SC400 does have 30mm from sway stock. I am wondering just how much stiffer the Whitelines or Tanabe fronts are. I am looking strictly for front sway bars for my SC4 and its been quite a chore to get any solid info on this matter.
Lets not focus on mounts or not in the rear, can we stick to the weights and just how much stiffer the bar itself is compared to stock?

I'm referring to my first post. It sounded like you posted because you thought there was something to be added to the list so I assumed it was specific like the Supra NA vs the TT.
When I dig around to find some aftermarket MKIV bars I'll add them to the post.
thx

Not if they're specifically listed for SC300/400 application.
If the Whiteline rear swaybar you are looking at is listed for the Supra then yes, you'll need Supra rear subframe mounts. The mounting location for the rubber bushings are located on those mounts for the Supra whereas the subframe bits on the SC have no mounting areas for a sway bar. With the factory SC setup, the rear sway bar rubber bushings anchor to the trunk floor. Endlink mounting points are the same for both the Supra and SC.

Now do you guys have any knowledge of TRD subframe mounts working? I am in the process of fitting up the rear swaybar and had to order the rear mounts. Toyota offers two different types of mounts. TRD and OEM stock. TRD is 75 a piece and stock is 98 a piece. Knowing that TRD is cheaper and probably more performance-oriented, i'd rather buy TRD mounts. Just not sure if they'd fit. I can imagine they would.
