Default Trd rear sway bar not doing its job?

Well Ive had my trd rear sway bar installed for about 2 months now. It seems although its not doing it's job anymore. I have it installed on the race setting (the inner holes). I was hoping I didn't get used to it too much.

I haven't done much hard driving lately, so I hope that some how I got used to it while doing just daily driving. Can that happen?

Just a few days ago, I've been pushing my car around turns and such, and I havent gotten that same feeling. I haven't gotten that squeak from my tires like before either. I'm still on my stock tires at 8k.


Have you guys gotten that feeling too? Or am I just too used to it?

had mine for quite a while now, and have run 6 autox events, including 25 runs at a test n tune and havent noticed any issues with it. You are most likely just getting used to it as you mentioned.

I dunno what feeling your looking for. a thicker rear sway bar is gunna help the rear of the car to rotate when in a turn. so unless your front end is plowing like a dump truck when your turning, the sway bar is doing its job. and if your front end is plowing it probably has to do with the garbage tires you have rather than the sway bar not working

It will also reduce body roll in a turn as well.

you probably got used to it. Don't worry tho, once you put on new tires and get rid of those stockers, you'll see another world of a difference.

go under your car and try to find the "made in china" sticker or stamp on it. if you can't then you are probably just getting used to it.
