strut goes under your hood and it links the two top black things

sway is under the car and its attached to the rotor setup

yeah, i got that... is there a difference in the perfomance though? i notice a lot more people seem to have the strut towers stablizers, but i'm assuming that's just for looks...or is it? confused

the struts do help stabilize the car by making it more unibody

the sway bar is key, but a lot harder to change and more expensive

This is a front AND rear set of sway bars. The Eibach Anti-Roll-Kit/Sway Bars allows fine-tuning of the vehicle's handling characteristics. Thicker Sway Bars further reduce body roll through increased design stiffness over stock bars. Front bar diameter is 25mm, the rear is 19mm with two adjustment settings (2-way adjustable). The added stability is amazing. Benefits include reduced body roll when cornering, fine tuning of vehicle's suspension for precise and crisp, predictable handling.

Get that adjustability in your front suspension that you need when you lower your car. Don't destroy those expensive tires, align your vehicle properly with our Camber Adjustment Plates. The Celica front suspension doesn't allow you to adjust the camber back to stock settings. These Plates let you actively adjust the camber, while the vehicle is on it's wheels. Allowing the ultimate in tuning flexibility and ease. NOW! with an integrated Strut Tower Brace, for that added stiffness you need to get the front end to respond quicker!

the rear sturt made a big differenece but the frotn waws alt less noticeable.(due to the fact the struts are very close to teh firewall and are already we supported form that)

the sways maek a huge difference
i repalced my rear sway and it is the best od i have done to date.
