i know this is redundant and i'm preaching to the choir but i installed the trd rear sway bar i bought off ebay this evening and it really is amazing. its like a totally different car. my solara went from feeling like a cushy riding boat to a beast on corners. definitely the best mod...

I agree that for the price, its definitely a good mod to do:

After I installed my rsb, I noticed two differences, both good and bad.

The good is that the ride is stiffer and less body roll in corners (more noticable at higher speeds).

The bad is that when I go over speed bumps or pothholes, the effect is more intense when compared to my parents' 04 stock Camry.

can't wait to get this mod, i will be purchasing it from reggie somewhere in the next month probably. also does the fstb make any difference on handling or is it just for looks? (it looks cool :D )

Yeah the TRD RSB will make a slight improvement.
You need to get the Rear Control Arm bushin' from Energy Suspension.
The Rear Control Arm poly bushin' helps alot.
I was on my way to work one day before i installed the poly bushin' for the R/C/A and i could hear my tires attempt to grip the road it was grip then slip, grip and slip. The rear tires were tryin' so hard to grip the road, then after i installed the poly R/C/A bushin', and that was a major improvement.
The rear tires stayed planted to the pavement.
Now i got to figrue out a brace for the rear. :evilbat:
Also got to get my SuperPro poly bushin' for hte F/C/A installed too.
