ok all production vehicles to include the celi that have independant suspensions have sway bars, otherwise they would not corner at all.
yes TRD makes a sway bar kit for the celi.
if it is a toyota dealer, i seriously doubt that 169 is for the TRD bars. now if it is for one of the bars, it is possible. but a dealer will charge over 300 for the set.

Basically if you install thicker (stiffer) sway bars at the front you will increase turn in response and understeer and if you install stiffer rear bars you will get more oversteer. Stiffer front and rear bars will improve handling at the expense of traction. It all depends on your preferences.

sway bars along with strut bars will definately be noticeable in handling.
