try a search for sway bars. also I believe the only set for our cars is made by suspension techniques, but apparently a tanabe is working on one.

I looked around for new front bars for our car. The only one I found was the Suspension Techniques one. Wish there were a few more options. I think the ST one is a bit stiff for my tastes. Would really like to have a 22mm one rather than the 24mm ST one. *shrug*

take it from me the stock ones where a little soft for me. i added the front and rear suspension techniques sway bar (anti roll bars or stabalizer bars depending on what you call them) to the celica and DAMN! i must say i feel in love with the car. ive also added a rear strut brace to see the difference and i **** you not this car sticks to the ground like gum on a hot day.
i have yet to feel any understeer at all and theres a little over steer when coming in hot but nothing i cant handle. when you add the sway bars be prepared to re-learn how to drive the car again since it basically changes the charecteristics of the car by a lot.

Sorry about the confusion. I abbreviated the Sus Teq to ST, which is confusing since there is the ST and GT bar as well. The front Sus Teq bar is 24mm and not adjustable. The stock ST bar is 19mm and the stock GT bar is 20mm. The Sus Teq 24mm bar is too stiff for my tastes, and the stock GT bar (20mm) is too soft. A 22mm bar would be just about right for me, I think. Bear in mind, I only changed out the front bar. I suspect that if you change both the front and the rear bar at the same time that it would spice things up real nice. I can't do it, so take my opinion on the bar with a grain of salt. |

Heh, I tend to forget that I am a bit strange. I race my car in SCCA Solo II competition in the Stock category. There are a few modifications you can make under the rules. One of them is that you can change the front sway bar, but you can't touch the rear one. Strange rule, but that is why I can't change the rear bar. The Sus Teq bar does fit, but it is a b!tch to get on (so I hear... something about having to drop the gas tank a couple inches or something). There is a How-To article off the main page. Sorry for the confusion...again
