I'm wondering where's the best place to find swaybars for my ES300, which shares the same suspension as the Solara/Camry.
Online or locally.
I'm looking at the Whiteline fsb and TRD rsb.

Even though the swaybars are similar, they are not 100% the same. You will have to get the camry or solara endlinks as the stock ES300 endlinks will not fit in either the strut or swaybar hole. Trust me, I know. hehe

Hi,

What year ES300?
I have a 1999 Camry and two 1997 ES300s.
I installed Whiteline swaybar sets on all 3. The stock parts were identical between my two ES and my Camry. I had no problem doing the installs on the ES at all.

Whiteline stuff can be ordered online at www.globalperformanceparts.com or www.185performance.com

I have ordered 1 set from 185 and 2 sets from global. Personally had better luck with global.

Thanks for the info guys.
I'm a little concerned that I will have to buy the end links like Castro said. I checked the prices on those and its a little pricey.

MentatGom, my ES is a `97, did you have any problems installing the whiteline bars ?

CamrySE-soCALlara, will that fit the 97~01 Camry/ES body styles?

Thanks again.

Hey vin,

I had absolutely no problem installing the Whiteline swaybars.
I even have pics from my install on one of my ES here:

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Thanks MentatGom!

Also, if its not too much trouble can you give me the part numbers of those whitelines?

thanks again.

I think you will need new bushings for the front swaybar.

For the rear bar, you could use stock, but it'll be a tight squeeze (for the Solara anyway).

On the same note, can someone post a link for the rear bushings? I've been digging through posts and I can't find anything.

Rear Whiteline Sway Bar - BTR39

If you order new Whiteline Sway Bars, they come with new Polyurethane bushings and grease packs for the install. You can use the stock endlinks and brackets.
