Hey guys,
i'm looking to buy one and i was wondering what the size of the original front sway bar is on the TA22? Also was wondering waht the fatest size sway you have/seen/heard of on a celica.
Cheers

standard front swaybar is about 16-18mm, on the front - there is none on the back
On my old ta22 - now sold - i swapped this for a 24mm front bar from Kmac , and a rear whiteline 18mm bar
both i put im myself - and im not a overlymechanical guy - so it was pretty easy
the cars rear end was 100% better handling wise - and front seemed to have a lot less understeer issues . It was also alot flatter thru bends
i was runing standard toyota springs at standard height , and monroe Gt gas Shockies all round
As an example - my ta22 was capable of keeping up with a Gt4 just about , in relativelky flat twisties ..
Budget wise - the whole setup cost me less than $600 to purchase parts + fit - IMHO the perfect entry level upgrade before looking at things like heavier rated springs , koni shockies etc
If you want details - PM me ..

Thanks. So the 24mm front sway would be considered to be a standard replacement or an oversized one?

I meant a standard aftermarket oversized replacement, or a custom oversized replacement job.

personally id only go slightly lowered progressive springs - a decent set of gas shockies, decent swaybars - and urethane bushes on *only* the swaybars - rubber on the rest ..
a set of camber adjusters and a front strut tower brace would tie the ta22 to the road like glue ..anything hardeer than that and youll shake your teeth , and the car apart
re swaybar - its an oversize replacement - stock - as previous message is about 6mm smaller

Can you get new sway bars that have more of a "curve" in them to give for space for the sump?
