do none of you people run whiteline sway bars?
very very popular in aus and the uk (australian company). they make fixed and adjustable units for all fwd/awd celicas, the fixed unit is the equivalent of the adjustable one on the medium setting. Ive got mine adjustable one on meduim, but only because on hard it was ripping the mounts off the suspension strut on one side and im sick of re welding it on, no dramas on meduim. sway bar first, then get the cusco underbody brace, makes a mc massive diff, stiffens the chassis **** loads. consider getting the front and rear strut tower bars price for the fixed rear is around $200 aus (so near $200 us with the exchange rate as it is atm) adjustable is around $220. dont make a front one for the 6th gens as far as im aware (they do for 5th and 7th). rears bring in a more neutral handling and even introduce a bit of oversteer, worth your while -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............600hp GT3582r
