I'm looking to add a rear sway bar on my tC. But I can't decide which one to get. I've heard of TRD, Hotchkis, WhiteLines, and Progress Tech rear sway bars. Which would be the best one to get for my tC?

I already have the TRD lowering springs on. I don't know if that's makes a difference or not. Should I just stick with TRD?

Thanks!

ive got the TRD rear sway on my car, along with other suspension mods that help...but i can say after puttin it on you can feel the diff. and it does handle quite nicely on the turns

just my input

nero_tC

What other suspension mods do you have on your car? Isn't the thicker the bar the better? So should I just go with the thickest?

i'm planning on getting the TRD rear sway bar soon too. I've seen it in person...and it is visually thicker than the stock and alot heavier. Although it's not visible from the ground up...it's bright red and should help u in turns. I think they retail for about $110.

I ordered mine on ebay for cheap... cant wait to get it all on

isnt TRD the only one right now for the tC?

Yes, which makes it the best and the worst, and everything in between.

Hotchkis will have front and rear bars out soon which are substantially stiffer. I like my TRD rear bar a lot, but I'm definitely interested in the Hotchkis bars as well.

the TRD sway bar can be had for about 75 dollars.

competitive bars in the future will probably retail for twice as much, so i'm sticking with the TRD.

works well too.

other than the TRD rear sway, ive got H&R springs, Front strut bar, TRD shocks
and nice aftermarket wheels with wide tires

its not alot of work, but it does the trick for now..nice and low
handles great

nero_tC

where at? The cheapest I've found the TRD bar was $79 I think

so it wouldn't be worth waiting for other bars? I can hold out if better bars will come out soon. anyone have any idea when they will be out?

nero_tC

Just curious, but why did you go with the H&R springs instead of the TRD springs, if you went TRD with everything else? Don't the TRD springs work in conjunction with the TRD shocks? I really have no idea just wondering :?:

Trdsparks.com has the sway bar for $75. Actually I just ordered the TRD sway bar and springs package for $192 with free shipping. That is one helluva deal

Obike

DC Sports has a carbon steel strut bar for the tC.

yep, sparks is my local dealer, just went and picked it up from their shop

the TRD springs i don't like, cuz i haven't seen them drop the car enough...only reason

the H&R springs ride really nice and drop it a good amount, but its not low enough for me...im gettin the Goldline springs in a week, drop it alil over 2inches

nero_tC

Which H&R springs do you have the "OE Sport" or "Sport" springs? How much more of a drop do they give you compared to the TRD springs? Do you think they will work the stock shocks?

Kaeon

Your gonna be LOW lol. I take it you have rims (or I hope so) Stock rims with a 2inch drop looks crapy. The back is always to low for some reason. I was going to go with a 2 inch drop but with my kit and all I would only have 1 inch of clearence.

BlueBox

that's wat i'm talking about... Goldline springs are surprisingly comfortable with aggressive 2" drop. Chk out my ride..i have the Goldline prototype springs... loving it.

ScionBandit

i love ridin low...i have the 18" Axis MOD 7's w/maxis lip on my car....
its lookin low now, just want a lil lower, thats all

it will have the stock wheels on in the winter(the salt messes everything up around here)--so ill have to deal with the saggy back until spring, don't really care though

when i get my carbon fiber kit on, i will have not too much clearance, but oh well

imjonk

where can you get the sway bar for 75 bucks? cause i want it.
