The title isn't completely accurate, as I plan to get at least two. Here is where I am at - my biggest issue is roll when I am turning at high speeds on the highway or other roads.

I feel pretty set that I want sway bars for this reason and based off of videos showing the roll correction. I also hear (ty drizzoh) that it may affect ride comfort.

Cost is also a factor. Do I need sways if I get coilovers? Will lowering my car (looking at TRD lowering springs) affect handing considerably? I can spend around under 800 and get lowering springs and sways or around the same price for decent coilovers...but I'd likely want to still add sways so really I'm looking at around 1300 with that setup.

Kicker - I (like an idiot but before the modbug hit) recently replaced my rear struts/springs through a shop. I would be doing most future work by myself (I've changed a transmission successfully before).

My thought is to get lowering springs and sways and then when my front struts go bad, I'll consider switching to coilovers and keeping the sways.

Thoughts? Any insight is much appreciated.

 

Coiloverssssss > Springs & sways alllll day.

Only get sways for a daily only if it spends considerable time at the track (talking every weekend) or else the daily commute will really start to bug you after a few months.

Coils also don't mean you have to slam the car, the height is adjustable so you can fine tune it to your liking. TRD springs ride like rocks and don't give an even drop. Don't waste your time on them.

 

Thank you for your insight as of late. Definitely things I will keep in mind (especially regarding the lowering springs for now).
