What do you mean?
Do you need the sway bar or the hardware?
Front or rear?

If you're looking to add a rear sway bar your best bet might be to find an 85 thats being parted and nab it's bar.

As for the hardware you can just use the mounting tabs, end links, and everything from an '85 car, it'll all bolt right in.

^^^ yea im looking for a front and rear sway bar, and my 86 has mounting tabs for a bar.

But the only bad thing is that i dont have access to an 85 mr2, theres none in the junkyard...

I waited until i found a used one online personally. It was THE BEST upgrade i've done to my car to date. Albeit i haven't done that much in the way of upgrades so far, but money VERY well spent IMO.

Two's R Us has lots of good stuff Twos R Us - Parts for Toyotas from Club MR2

I don't know about the ST bar though, i've heard that the one they make for the mk2 is too stiff and bends end links, or mangles mounting brackets, so i'd be careful and get a testimony from someone thats used it.

^^^o well thanks so much, ill have to look into those ST sway bars or just buy one off of someone on here. It would probably be cheaper anyways

I put a set of 3/4" Addco bars, front and rear on my NA 89. With the struts, springs and bushings it really made a difference. I'm using the stock links on the front and had to build some for the rear, but no big deal.

After 5 years I'm still glad I bought them.
