Yes Install was hella easy! Trust me. You may think it's hard but it's really easy. You will want to life up the car.

You consider getting the Hotchkis Sways, I hear from the people that have them say that they loved them! When you turn you can feel the car squat when taking turns.

My only concern with going stiffer is some of the rougher streets I drive on here. On rougher surfaces, too stiff becomes detrimental to handling. I would have to drive one on a Hotchkis set to see.

It might be possible to install without jacking the car up. It's going to be a headache though.

Edit-

Got mine for $129 from TRD Sparks, so that really isnt abnormally cheap. You can find sales on them if you just look and wait.

So do you have to grease it up or anything.....or do you just put it on....?...also do you have to lift up the whole car or just the side that your installing it on??

it's not sides really... unless your talking front or rear... for the front you definately need to jack up the car... the rear, i'm sure it's possible to not jack it up and do it... but that just makes it more difficult... especially to reach the bolts holding the bushings... and you should grease the bushings... definately.

Yeah, you would have to be pretty skinny and nearsighted to do it without jacking up Of course I am dropped on TRDs, so a little touher on mine, but still tough on stock springs.

I jacked it up and set it on jackstands, makes life much more easy. Working on a car is more enjoyable if you are in a comfortable position

Does the TRD rear sway bar come with bushings. I noticed that some brands come with urethane bushings and some don't?

use a lift to install your rear sway will take at the most 30 min if you dont know what your doing. you should use lithium grease on your bushings unless you want a metal on rubber sound comming from your rear. i installed my ST rear sway in 15 min but had to have the front installed because of the front sub assembly needing to be dropped. i have mine set on aggressive on the rear and she handles amazingly and im riding on trd springs. next up should be a set of strut bars from Greddy
