Well from the way I see it by looking at the forum and peoples installation guides on this site, it's easy as can be. Pretty much take off a couple of bolts, put the bar in place and rebolt them on. Then add an extra bolt to each side and your finished.

Zing,
I think Sparks would ship to Lebanon. They have a section where you choose your country and then the type of shipping you want, then it will give you the cost of the product and shipping.

Tried it. But problem is that these things are flawed. Since I do not have a postal/ZIP code it won't work. Either ways I once tried ordering from that site...they were charging me 250$ for a 150$ item. Not worth it.

20 minutes to install, including scrounging up the tools and tidy-up after.
It's a "no-brainer". Four bolts. Simple hand tools. Changing a tire is more complicated.

the product has nothing to do with shipping to your area, it's unfortunate but it's unfair to say the sway bar is flawed.

Zing - did you buy your car at a local Toyota Dealer? Wouldn't they be able to sell you the sway bar?

I don't know if its the same in lebanon, but I just got back from ordering my sway bar at the dealership here in southern california. They quoted me 190 over the phone but I told them another dealership had it for 150 on the internet, so they gave it to me for 151 plus tax .

I'm picking it up tomorrow

Well I got the bar on yesterday at a local shop down the street from me. I didn't have the tools to get it done on my own so took it up there. They threw it up on the hoist and took like 10 minutes to get it all put on. I didn't really think much of it when I backed out of the garage and started driving away. It felt "slightly" different but thought maybe I was imagining things. As soon as I started to pull out of the driveway though onto the road, boy was I wrong on having low expectations.

Immediately I saw a stark difference in without the bar vs having it installed. The nosediving understeer was nearly gone completely and the way I can describe the feeling is that the car feels "stiff" and "direct". "planted" is another word that comes to mind as well. For a $150 upgrade part, I really wasn't expecting such a drastic improvement but it really is just that.
