I am looking for just a cheap front sway bay. I wish those damn cheap $30 universal sway bars fit our damn cars. I am about to turbo and I figure it will help a bit on turns but also look a bit more flashy under the hood. Lemme know what you guys are using and how much they cost.

Thanks,

Matt

I have a GT, and I switched to the stock bar on the ST model.

Universal sway bar?

I think you'll be fine with the stock front bar, unless you want more understeer. If you do, Suspension Techniques makes a good bar, or you could go with the GT stock bar.

However, it seems that you're really asking for a strut brace, which is a different matter entirely. Some people have used a Dodge Neon brace and seem to be satisfied. Do a search for "neon strut bar" and you'll have all the info you need if you want one cheap. If you want something bolt-in, spend a little extra and have DG (a user on this board)make a bar for you.

Um, I def think your looking for a strut tower brace, not a sway bar.. sway bars are underneth, and we already have those. Other than that, a strut tower bar, really wont do much at all, .. every one says they make a hudge dif, but they really wont.. i have one, just cause i got it for like 12-15 bucks.. sway bars will help alot though.. also will be like 300 for front and rear.

I'm going to try the '95-'99 Neon strut bar myself soon...I've just gotta talk to my friends with those cars and test their bars to see what style I need to clear both my engine and hood.

I have heard that a 95-99 dodge neon strut bar will work. You might have to modify it alittle. I have seen them on ebay for like 20 bucks.

How would you have to modify one of the Neon strut bars?

this was posted awhile back.....

Again from what my understanding is, there is less clearence on the Celica then a neon, and you will have to use a rubber mallot (so you dont ding the bar) and pound the bar to be alittle straighter. Also I think one of the wholes is a little off and you will have to modify that one whole.

AGAIN...I have not tried this yet, and this is what I have been told.

I have the neon front strut bar - best $20 I ever spent. It cleared the hood just fine. You have to drill 2 new holes on each ring to make it fit properly. Thats it. A pic is in the profile and I have more on request.

and yes, it does make a differnce

What year neon strut tower brace bar is that that you have?

Dude, you rule man. Thanks

How about rear? Any one know what fits on the back of my baby? 94 GT

I'm using the GT4 rear bar. It should fit your GT. Cost me about $60.

where did you get your gt4 rear i also need one.

go to www.toyotaworld.com, then click on the "OEM Parts" icon (this takes you to the parts.com website). Where it says, "Search by OEM Part Number", here's the OEM part # 5360520020.

Hope that helps. I believe the Rear GT4 bar is going to cost you $62. That's not including shipping though.

Any one got a pick?

Any one got a pick?

Does anyone have info on how they ship? I'm new to the internet shopping thing and I'm affraid of getting screwed over on everything. That's why I've been asking so many questions.

Here ya go
