New TRD sway bars in red







Energy Suspension greaseable sway bar brackets with 90 degree zerks + red zerk caps, as well as red polyurethane bushings (As opposed to the black that Toyota supplies)







Front installed












Rear installed. New bolts on the KW's.

















Took this time to install the targa seal against the windshield header, plus the front section of headliner, dome light, and sun visors.










Still keeping the plastic on the new A pillar trim until she's ready to drive










With coilovers and sway bars installed, the suspension is just about complete. The car is ready to sit on its wheels for the first time since November of 2018.














Coilovers at their lowest setting, just for ease of install. Will have to come up quite a bit for the engine to go in.







The front wheels poke out quite a bit with the 25mm spacers that were run with the stock TT wheels. There's some space between the spoke and caliper for the wheel to come in a bit.









My friend Harman, a machinist, brought over his gauge block set to do a front wheel clearance check. There is about 14mm of space between spoke and caliper. The current spacer is a 25mm, going to drop it down to 12mm with extended ARP studs to see what can be accomplished. May have to go down to a narrower front tire should the fender clearance still be an issue.














Another note - the external hex lug nuts have been swapped for internal hex. I'm going to have the new ARP studs shortened about 10mm to allow for the use of internal hex lugs all around. I don't like the idea of a socket scratching up the wheel.
