Hey Guys!

A guy near me has a used TRD rear sway bar and a used TRD front strut brace for sale. He said his lowest price is $200, the front brace is in really good shape but the rear sway bar is the older style and looks like it could use a quick spray paint here and there, but still useable.
What do you guys think at a price of $200 for both pieces?
to get them both new would cost me every bit of $400 at the cheapest place I found them.
What do ya think?
Thanks!!

Just a question...

If Toyota changed the design because the original had problems, shouldn't Toyota replace broken ones with the newer design?

I was thinking the same thing..anyone know if toyota replaced the broken ones? I woul hope they did..dont they have the 3/36 warranty?

After I blasted the powder coating off the sway bar before painting it, I noticed small hair line cracks in the welds that connect the mounting tabs to the tubular steel.. So, I had my brother reinforce the welds with a nice thick bead... it looked 100 times better and I doubt it will ever break in those areas.
It works great and it is a very noticable improvement...
