Hi,

The sways made a huge difference for me.

Whiteline

Front - 22mm adjustable / non-adjustable

Rear - 22mm Solid non-adjustable

TRD

Rear - 23mm non-adjustable

i'd say depending on what kind of money you want to throw at it, and also, what you want your car to do... then decide. ;)

cheers.

Whiteline Swaybar bits for Corolla ZZE122 12/01-04

Front Swaybars

- BTF72 R 24 B (non-adjustable)

- BTF72Z A R 24 C (adjustable)

Rear Swaybar

- BTR77 R 22 C (non-adjustable)

Can't remember pricing, I had it all written down somewhere but cannot find it now, but get quotes from a few places eg Repco, Autobarn, etc. Direct from Whiteline is not always cheapest, plus you can bargain a bit with price-matching policies ;)

I'd go with whiteline as they will be cheaper than the others and do the same job. I can supply for the following prices;

BTF72 front sway bar 24mm $150

BTF72 Z adj front sway bar 24mm $200

BTR77 rear sway bar 22mm $190

PM me if this interests you and I can then give you prices on freight etc depending on where you reside.

Cheers SILVABULLIT :D

Progress Rear Sway Bar = 90USD

Have you more info on this IMEK other then just some words? I'd like more info regarding branding/manufacturer perhaps some pics and details on thickness(es) and stiffness. 90 USD may sound cheap but I'm sure does not include drlivery which would cost a bit for the size of the thing. Plus Whiteline is a local manufacturer to Australian road conditions and highly respected here and starting to make inroads into the US market. Maybe visit Whiteline web link and see for yourself...

22 mm hollow.

www.progress.com

fits perfectlty. designed for the heavier matrix, so prolly stiffer than whitelne. bought it for $120 shipped US -> PL. Look for Petertracks at www.matrixowners.com, and he'll give you a bargain quote.

Designed to work with stock front, eliminates understeer almost totally, which cannot be said about front+rear combo. all you need to know is in the suspension section of the above mentioned forum.

ps.

Did I sense a bit od annoyment or agression in your post?

personally i think that not having decent rubber and suspension to hold you down, you won't be able to push the car that hard to feel the 'difference' between the different aftermarket swaybars.

Nah there was no annoyance I just wanted more info then a price, I like to know that the price will get me, but take note of Shoa's comments... The solid bars are always stiffer, so the question was valid, I stick with the Whiteline or TRD option...

the whiteline rear is a 22mm solid bar, trd 23mm solid as well.

I just checkegd, Progress is also 22mm solid.

Stiffness depends more on material than being solid/hollow.

TRD and Hotchkis swaybars snap at welds, Whiteline has exactly the same design. I chose Progress b/c of its unique design with reinforcements in places where TRD breaks.

solid and hollow make a big difference. 1mm thicker makes an even bigger difference. wat sort of different materials would u want to make a swaybar with?

wat sort of reinforcements does the progress one have. how unique is it's design. there might be cases, but i haven't seen or heard any TRD bar being broken yet. i don't see or hear of any bar that progress say that they are stronger, or have special welds or guaranteed from breaking. perhaps u might like to enlighten us again.

solid/hollow - of course, makes a huge difference. The question thou is - for the knowledgeable in physics - where do the forces concentrate (sway bar acts like a spring).

As for materials -- I'm sure there are lots of different steels with different "spring rates".

Progress has additional triangle reinforcements strengthening the joint between the horizontal bar and vertical mounting "sockets"...

TRD and Hotchkis snap all the time. Read user feedback on matrixowners.com. It just needs a good milage to break.

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      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.
