any of 'em would be an improvement. You just have to decide how serious you are about stiffening up that suspension. Personally I ordered the cheapest. The 19mm Ultra Racing bar. I can't add input and exactly how different they all are though. Good Luck

How are your driving habits? From the info you provided about your car, I'd say the Ultra 19mm - best bang for the buck.

This car is my daily driver, but I do tend to drive fast and sometimes make sharp and hard turns.

What size is the TRD bar? 19 or 23mm? What differences does the 4mm make?

I have a TRD rear sway and it was hands-down one of the best mods I've made to the car. For a daily driver I'd say the TRD or the 19mm Ultra would be fine. If you want to go all out get the big 23mm.

I would imagine the 23 mm bar is heavier than the 19 mm one. And stiffer of course, but do you really need it? I've had the Ultra Racing 19 mm from Garm for about a month now and I'm very happy. I can take turns at much higher speeds now, without body roll and tires losing traction. And already I get comments that this looks like "wreckless driving" As far as I am concerned the sway bar is working perfectly for me.

Like others have said above 19 mm is the best bang for the buck.

Thanks guys. 19mm Ultra then. I'm a cheapo though. Does Garm give discounts to YW members?

Garm's stuff is already heavily discounted, trust me, you won't find a better price anywhere else on the Internet... Not on this planet anyways...

Hehe. Yeah, the price is already pretty good. Just asking 'cause there's a coupon code field on his store during checkout.

I love my 19mm ultra racing sway bar, but I'd have bought the 23mm ultra racing one if it had been available when I bought mine... the larger one is stiffer and the effect is more pronounced from what I hear. The TRD one... well it's 19mm and from what I can tell you are paying extra just because it's TRD...

^ all true. And on that part, I'm sorry but I can't do better than the $134.95 shipped price for the 19mm sway bar. Also, yes there is a 3-4 pound difference between the 19mm and the 23mm bars.

I can do deals when people order more than one thing, as many of you have discovered.

Just trying to pay the rent and buy my race gas, LOL

Thanks Garm. Still going through my available options. After all the posts here, I'm not sure now whether to go w/ the 19mm or the 23mm. I'd also need to have it installed somewhere that will install it right. I don't have the tools to do it myself.

it's very easy to install you might not even need to lift the car to do it... you pretty much only need a wrench. (I think lifting the car would be safer tho)

Yeah, me installing it is not going to happen.

I've never worked under the car and don't know where I'd even attach it. I could go to my Toyota dealer and have them install it, but then that would bring the total cost way over what it's worth.
