I noticed that the first thing i got my car. On a windy day on my sedan it feels like your driving a boat through a storm. Lot of swaying back and forth it was almost scary at times. Took bit more concentration to drive the car.

First mod i did was the TRD sway bar. This helped significantly. It dropped the saying by maybe 50 percent. After that was the TRD springs. This chopped it down another 40 percent. So its almost completely null now. After that i started to mod nonstop. So its hard to say what else helped and didnt help. But i have no swaying now.

I think thats the route I'm gonna go anti sway bar see if it quiets her down.... then if need be springs.... trying to save money on this, I have a habit of getting carried away quickly when it comes to vehicles trying not too even though I know I can.. still in the process of finishing up a suburban that I got about 2 months ago and have taken it further then I planned, also a cherokee that started with a/t tires for the snow now sits on locked dana 60's and 37's with a full exocage..... Don't want to do this with a brand new car yet.... plus I was given a 125,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and don't feel like voiding that if I can help it...

I installed the TRD swaybar before the other mod's and found it significantly reduced wind buffetting due to crosswinds and truck wake. A worthwhile investment for this reason alone, not to mention the great cornering improvement. Should have been added at the factory. It's that much better / safer.
