I'm going to buy the s-tec or something like that sway bars for my car, and I was wondering if there is any problem with putting them in on stock hieght. I don't think there will be, but just in case, I thought I'd ask. Also, anything else I need to know? Thanks.

He means the Suspension Techniques sway bars I believe. They were actually engineered for Celicas at stock height, hence the rubbing issues with older versions of the front bar on lowered cars. So yeah, you'll be fine(and very happy with the reduced body roll.)

[right][snapback]308259[/snapback][/right] Yes, Suspension Techniques redesigned the front sway bar so that it no longer rubs the frame. So make sure you get one of the new bars.

I saw a kit, front and rear bars in option auto, but i'm not sure if they are the redesigned one, how can you tell if they are redesigned. is there a certain size front and back that we need to get?

I might just put some actual s-tec springs (Thanks for the correction) on it this summer too. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

In fact, they would make the problem worse. The sway bar mounts on the top side of the cross member and the bar rubs on the underside of the car. If you put in spacers or used bigger bushings, you would just be pushing the bar up more toward the underside of the car. The problem is that the bar is bent in such a way that the middle section (between the bushings) is too high so it had to be redesigned to correct the fitment. The new bar? Well, its perfect. P.S. I would buy peformance springs if you were going to go with sway bars. They are only $140-$180 bucks depending on what you get. With some low profile tires, you can complete your go-kart-like ride.
