    The sway bars will tighten up the tC and lessen body roll. Corners will be a breeze. IMO the front sway bar isn't necessary to upgrade unless your racing, also can cause more over steer than needed. Upgrade the rear one and your good to go.

    I'm thinking of getting TRD's rear sway bar. Does it matter which brand?

    As far as brands go, I don't personally feel the brand really matters. The only difference is going to be the adjust ability. Some rear sways have more than one setting. TRD, Hotchkis, Suspension Techniques, Eibach, and Progress are the most popular.

    Cadence is the man. Very thorough info but forgot one major important piece. It is worth 15-20WHP. That would be a Jotech decal. :)
