The biggest problem i have had with my tc is the handling. i was use to driving my '02 mazda protege until the thing got totalled. it handled really well.

anyways after installing the sway bar i am much happier with the handling of my car. these cars should come from the factory with this sway bar.

 

Yea they should come factory...How much you pay?

 

if they came factory.... trd wouldnt make any money on the aftermarket.... its all about $$$....

whocares, they range from 90-130 depending on where you buy

and i do agree that this is a very good sway bar

 

i bought mine from trdsparks.com
mcgeorgeparts.com has them a little cheaper but I already ordered my injen intake through trsparks so i decided to go through them for the sway bar as well. overall i think trdsparks was offering free shipping on the sway bar so i really didnt spend much more money.

 

does anyone know how much a dealership would charge to install this? i am just wondering how much money I saved doing it myself.

 

Installing the rear bar is easy , the only prob I ran into was getting the old bar out and fishin the new one in . Maybe I didnt have the car up off teh ground far enough but the rest of the installation is a breeze . Save yourself the money and do it yourself

 

i guess you didn't read my post. I already installed the sway bar. I just want to know how much dealers charge to do the installation.

 

Oppps LOL Im sure they charge enough LOL

 

call and ask? simple as that. i would assume about 70 + shop charges though

 

Just bought the sway from TRD. This was the first think i knew the tC needed when i drove it. lol

 

yeah i bet they charge at least $70. i will try to call so we know how much we save by doing this mod our selves.

 

My dealership actually told me its $20 to install the rear sway bar. I'm going to have my dealership do it as soon as I buy the swaybar & springs.

 

i dont believe your dealer. I would get that in writing.

 

Well, I got it in an email from him, so I think i'll print a copy of that email when I take in the car.

 

$20 for a rear sway bar install from the dealership? Impressive.

I think I'm going to order the TRD sway bar soon

 

i would do that, but they might not keep it valid... might need a signature... i would talk to someone in person and get a signature

its a real simple install though.... you could do it yourself

 

you didnt do any "favors" to get that low of a price did you

it should be whatever they are for 1 hour labor

 

if it's really only $20 i would think more people would just pay the $20 to have it installed.
