hey guys, i'll be getting my tax return money soon and im looking to buy a rear sway bar for my camry.

the only one that i can find is the whiteline 20mm, does anyone know of any other brands or thicker ones?

also anyone who has the whiteline installed if you could let me know how it performs, if there was a big difference and if there have been any problems with it.

also looking into a strut bar that will fir the v6 model. will it improve the turn in of the car, understeer, roll etc? i am yet to find any brand that sells one for me :(

any help will be much appreciated

I have the whiteline rear sway bar installed and its definitely the mod that will dramatically improve the handling of the car. There is a lot less understeer and even a tickle of oversteer when pushed hard. TRD makes one too but you'll have to get that from the states and probably second hand too. I've also got a tower strut bar for the front, but I have to admit, I installed it for the asthetics than performance and I had one :P. I've got the TRD one which designed with the supercharger in mind in terms of clearance. It probably does make a difference but I didnt see a huge improvement, but that may be because i'm running coilovers as well. This you will have to go through america, and probably best to speak to Adam if you are serious about it.

There is only TRD and Whiteline. TRD is to big to ship via the Post Office so will be really expensive to ship. Get Whiteline. Good brand.

When I first put the Rear sway bar on, I had a set of King superlows with the stock shockies on. The superlows did their job with making the car sit lower and was stiffer but the cornering ability didnt really change dramatically until the rear sway bar. I remember on a cruise from Sommerset to the Wivenhoe, with long sweeping corners, the car handled awesome. I was following a Mini (NA version) but it was keeping up. I sure i would have been left behind very fast if it wasnt for the RSB.

The RSB is the single best suspension upgrade for the money on the Gen 3/4. :)

This is gonna be my next mod too... should be interesting to see what difference it makes.

Prob more noticeable for people who don't have the Touring Series Camrys... my Tourer came with 17mm swaybar instead of the stock 15mm ones, plus the Tourers are lower in the back.

hey guys,

i just came across this topic. bit late, i know. would there be much of a difference between a 20mm and a 24mm rear sway bar for this type of camry? they're the same price on the whiteline site. just wouldn't know which one would be better. did you end up getting one installed, addy? if so, what's it like?

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
