I am looking for just a cheap front sway bay. I wish those damn cheap $30 universal sway bars fit our damn cars. I am about to turbo and I figure it will help a bit on turns but also look a bit more flashy under the hood. Lemme know what you guys are using and how much they cost.

Thanks,

Matt

I have a GT, and I switched to the stock bar on the ST model.

Universal sway bar?

I think you'll be fine with the stock front bar, unless you want more understeer. If you do, Suspension Techniques makes a good bar, or you could go with the GT stock bar.

However, it seems that you're really asking for a strut brace, which is a different matter entirely. Some people have used a Dodge Neon brace and seem to be satisfied. Do a search for "neon strut bar" and you'll have all the info you need if you want one cheap. If you want something bolt-in, spend a little extra and have DG (a user on this board)make a bar for you.

Um, I def think your looking for a strut tower brace, not a sway bar.. sway bars are underneth, and we already have those. Other than that, a strut tower bar, really wont do much at all, .. every one says they make a hudge dif, but they really wont.. i have one, just cause i got it for like 12-15 bucks.. sway bars will help alot though.. also will be like 300 for front and rear.

I'm going to try the '95-'99 Neon strut bar myself soon...I've just gotta talk to my friends with those cars and test their bars to see what style I need to clear both my engine and hood. >>

I have heard that a 95-99 dodge neon strut bar will work. You might have to modify it alittle. I have seen them on ebay for like 20 bucks.

I have the neon front strut bar - best $20 I ever spent. It cleared the hood just fine. You have to drill 2 new holes on each ring to make it fit properly. Thats it. A pic is in the profile and I have more on request.

and yes, it does make a differnce >>

go to www.toyotaworld.com, then click on the "OEM Parts" icon (this takes you to the parts.com website). Where it says, "Search by OEM Part Number", here's the OEM part # 5360520020.

Hope that helps. I believe the Rear GT4 bar is going to cost you $62. That's not including shipping though.

When I ordered from them, they had to order the part. Took about a week and a half to ship. It's coming from a toyota dealer so it's legit. So is ordering from them. If you're not confident in the online thing then call and order it personally.

I asked for the tracking number and they provided that to me. Just make sure they'll give you one. It came UPS I believe, packaged well and everything.

Approximately yes. It'd cost 74 for me because I'm in CA.

Wow! Only three times? I am kind of suprised. Well, you can add one more for spelling, and start a new column for grammar. >>
