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

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. smile.gif

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.

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 biggrin.gif

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

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.
