1. I'm not sure how thick they are, but can find out if this information is important.
2. All brackets and bushes as currently fitted will be included.
3. $75 + $75 = $150 
4. You're in Sydney, and I'm in Melbourne, you realise...?

Stabiliser bars / sway bars / roll bars; whatever term you're happy with, that's what they are... =P
The price is in the original post. I don't have diameters on the bars as I lack the appropriate measuring tool.
The front bar is a supplimnentary bar and the rear is fitted to the control arms to address the lack of a standard bar; on this basis I'd expect the roll stiffness (or lack of same) to be much improved after fitting these bars.
Call me on 0401 912 279 if you're still interested.

EVo STi - from my own experiences with My ta22 - that had the heavier duty sway bars fitted front and rear - they make a VCAST improvement in the way the car handles - especially in the rear .. having the one on the back really makes the tail of the car more controllable.
For anyone - these bars are a Definate buy if you want your ta22 to handle like it should - believe me for 150 bucks - you cant go wrong !
They are extremely easy to fit as well!
PS : theres no aftermarket strut brace for ta22's that i know of .. They are usually custom made jobbies - but relatively eassy for an engineer to construct ..

These bars were fitted to the car when I bought it. A brief road test revealed a degree of slop and play in the suspension. A professional steering/suspension inspection identifies the following issues;
Tie Rod End Inner Left - Fail
Tie Rod End Inner Right - Fail
Tie Rod End Outer Left - Fail
Tie Rod End Outer Right - Fail
Radius rod bushes - L&R - Fail
Front Struts L&R - Fail, completely worthless
Lower ball joints - L&R - Fail
Idler arm - Fail, bushes worn, bearings shot, replacement reqd.
Pitman arm - Fail, bushes worn, bearings shott, replacement reqd.
Front Coil Springs L&R - Pass
Rear upper trailing arms L&R - Fail, bushes *unbonded*
Rear lower trailing arms L&R - Fail, bushes *unbonded*
Sector Shaft / Steering Box - Fail, excessive play
Rear dampers L&R - Fail, completely shot
Rear Coil Springs L&R - Pass
Panhard Rod to Diff bush - Fail
Panhard Rod to Chassis bush - Fail
Fortunately there's no damage, just wear; as such, she's recoverable, and when I'm done rekitting every perishable component under the car she'll literally be better than new.
The point is I presume the swaybars, as aftermarket items, will make a significant improvement. I don't have the ability to make an objective analysis, though, because the condition of the car's underpinnings hasn't established a very good benchmark/basis for comparison.
