All I can say is OMG!!! The difference is like night and day. I am absolutely amazed and was definately worth it. Plus I just installed an Ingall's rear shock brace as well. I assume that this helps even more. Definately worth the money!!!!

Now you know why some of us swear by putting your money into the suspension. Small amount of dough and little work really makes a difference.

Huge difference. To be honest I can't even explain to you how it is. It is one of those things that I honestly didn't think it would make all that much of a difference, but it did. I got more than I expected and you should definately get this asap!

I have just the rear right now. But I also have the Ingall's rear shock brace, strut tie bar, and springs. Next for me suspension wise is gonna either be shocks or a full damper kit. Then I will get the front sway and pretty much be done suspension wise. I want to start working on the exterior now though. I have left the outside stock for the most part and have worked on the engine and suspension. So now that it has a little more *****, I can get wheels lip kit and such. Too much to do and very little money! ;(

if you decide to put the front, then you have to get rid of the trd and get either hotrchkis or suspension techniques cause you can't mix the sway bars.

what do you mean you can't "mix" them? if he could find a hotchkis front sway by itself, he could put it on with the rear TRD sway in the back. the only thing you have to do is adjust the front strut bar's stiffness settings so that it's calibrated with the rear TRD sway properly

Yeah I am not planning on getting the front anytime soon. I want to work on the exterior a little bit now.
