Rear vs Fsport sway bars set
So I had the rear fsport sway bar on my car for over a year and I recently installed the front about a week ago..
Here's my conclusions..
Rear fsport sway bar - With just the rear.. it had a bit of over steering and it felt it was missing something but it was still better than the oem's.
F-sport sway bars set - With the set.. it had a little under steering (which you want in a sport car). It felt more balanced when taking corners than the rear alone.
So my final thought is.. get the set! the fronts sway paired with the rear nicely. The difference in handling is definitely there vs just the rear sway. I should of got the whole set to begin with! I would of saved $50! instead of buying the rear and front separately.

Also a good driver will modulate the throttle around a corner to correct it and not depend 100% on his equipment to take him around a corner.

Actually it does not matter if toyota made a complete set or not. It all comes down to your driving style. Some drivers preffer more under steer some more over steer.

I see your point but not all of us have F1's driving skills where they can maneuver out of danger. All I'm saying is for us average joe's out there.. is safer to have more under steer than over. That is why most car's companies put their vehicles a little under steering to be on the safer side. With over steering you have a greater chance of losing control than under.
