What brand are those stock 16"s?
Not sure. Enkei made the earlier tri-spokes.

Due to the really bad light, I had to set the ISO rating quite high (1600 IIRC) so the images are quite grainy. Doesn't make it ideal for large images I'm afraid...

Sways bars.. F and R or just Rear? - 6G Celicas Forums

6th Generation Celica › Suspension/Handling/Braking
If you want no understeer and would like to the the rear end out more, don't drive a FWD car.
A larger rear sway bar will help reduce understeer, but does have the potential to screw up the handling b...
