    I wish I can show a pic (but it's snowing hard te f*ck right now), but I'm not at all surprised by the rear sway bar. It's corroded in the middle where it twists, it shows a lot of wear.

    if that doesn't snap first, I'll just hold on to it until I splash on a new sway bar (and mid chassis brace) along with the HA charger. someday...

    To think of it, I would be going to a scrap yard soon to pick up a HV fan and getting a salvage would be a good idea. I hope parts on the 2003-something Corollas or Aurises or whatever are compatible.

    Corolla and Matrix compatible. You'll see it's a simple bar for the back. But otherwise I believe 03-08 there the same.

    Can someone get me the part numbers to upgrade the suspension in my gen 2 Prius. Seems like everyone agrees that upgraded stabilizer bars are the way to go. What are the biggest ones that will fit? New bushings part numbers? I'd also like to replace the springs with something much stiffer, but cant seems to find any. Im looking to replicate the handling of a fiat 500 I recently sold and like the stiff ride. I'm probably going to replace the struts too, but would like to change the springs.

    I've got a 2007 Prius Touring. I like this idea of swapping the front and rear sway bars from a corolla. Is there a certain range of model years of corolla I should look for? I also need heavier duty springs as it's rear is sagging and I tow lightweight stuff. Thanks!

    as above '03-'08 will fit, possibly a few years later too. I think any corolla /matrix with the solid rear axle will work. trd and progress rear bars and whiteline front are stiffer than oem corolla, if you want maximum anti roll.
