I'm about to buy a set of bushings but I'm unsure on which ones to purchase (size-wise)
16mm rear: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Energy-Suspension-...ac1&vxp=mtr 20mm front: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Energy-Suspension-...ca0&vxp=mtr Are they the right sizes? I have a 94 GT and I can't seem to find any concrete info yet. The bushings I took out from my front swaybar to replace with temporary modified rubber bushings had the markings "20 40" on the sides, for the front ones. I haven't taken out the rears yet.

The sway bar is 21 mm. I plan on picking up some Energy Suspension bushings soon.

Yeah but apparently some celicas came with 20mm and others with 21mm, might've been a face-lift thing but I think measure twice buy once applies here. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

Easy way to measure -- take an open-ended wrench, see which one first snugly.

I bought the front and rear suspension techniques from nopi.com. The front is 24mm and the rear is 22mm. But the mounts are pretty heavy duty, with what they come with. Just highly recommend new, beefier sway bar links.
But, boy, do the new sway bars make it handle like F1 car. I can easily pull 1 or 2 rated corners at double the suggest speed. Road corners that is. havent done any rally with it tho. Good luck! -------------------- "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them." John Wayne

That's smaller than what's stock in the front, so technically it would reduce it slightly. EDIT: just realized that was a st205 sway bar, and the front sway bar size posted above was NOT for an st205 This post has been edited by jordisonjr: Jan 9, 2015 - 1:14 PM -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

im not asking if it increases or decreases understeer. i already have a rear 22mm suspension technique sway bar.
the link i posted is for a front ST205 sway bar. in which there is no aftermarket sway bar besides this one., which is 4mm thicker than the oem 15mm front sway bar. -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts
