    Oh? You never heard of toyrolla? They have lots of good information about mod there. :)
    btw, I think we had discussed it b4. Getting a hotchkis sway bar is better than a TRD strut bar. :p

    but the sway bars need to be adjusted and stuff....
    ALso im not planning to do hardcore corning....
    I was thinking about putting the strut bar, struts, and springs all at the same time to save money.... Its not like i can do it all myself....
    I doubt shops are willing to tune sway bars

    PS: most won't even install it cause u gotta take the gas tank out and its alot of work

    Ive never heard of having to take out the gas tank to install the sway bar.

    Regardless of whether or not you have sway bars, a strut bar will be beneficial either way.

    e - for the hotchkis sways, you have to move the tank - NOT remove it completely.

    ...at least, that's what i was told. i still have mine in the trunk...heh.

    You have to drop the gas tank because of how the rear sway bar is all setup in there. It's a real pain in the ass.

    LOL man why you still have yours in the trunk!? It's like that other pimp my ride episode where that girl has her club bar in the back seat and she doesn't even know what to do with it.
