sure. go for it. i have hotchkis springs and progress sway bar on, and it's completely bearable as a daily driver. sway bar didn't compromise any ride quality, or none that i could feel.

Strut bar is basically for looks. (From what I've read on here anyways.)
Get a front sway bar if you drive aggressively.

eh semi-aggressive

well i just heard trd rear sway on race setting does the job for the whole car so there is no real need for front sways because even if i get front sways like the hotchkis then i would need to place the rear to stiffest setting and front to the softest for a decent ride at least and that would end up only bein a little bit more stiff then trd sway so i just thought trd rear sway would be the best to go, and front strut does more then the rear strut so i thougth hey it adds a lil juice to the car and great for looks so i was just wondering if this combo was good over the hotchkis sway set

i have the hotchkis bars with the front set to the softest and the rear set to the stiffest and its quite easy to induce oversteer. the hotchkis rear bar is much thicker (27mm) than the trd bar (22mm) which is why adding a thicker front bar isnt counterintuitive. but unless your racing, the trd bar should be fine for a daily driver.
