Sway bar help
I was recently on the heel-and toe site and wanted to know the difference in Tl-s sway bar oppose to the other brands? I have the 6 speed sport package. I don't know which one to get

To clarify, while the TL-S bar is a nice upgrade and cheap to boot, it is not even close to the same as the aftermarket, specifically the H&R front bar.
The H&R bar is 28mm but since it's adjutstable it's effectively a 29mm bar in the firm position. Even in the soft position it's stiffer than the TL-S bar. It surprised me actually. I'm assuming it's the type of metal that makes the difference. This swaybar also comes with some very nice bushings. They're urethane but they're dead silent.
I don't know if the OP was asking but all TL and TL-S swaybars interchange. Any TL swaybar will physically bolt up to any TL as long as you get the right bushings.
I don't know the '07-'08 base swaybar sizes off the top of my head but they're slightly larger than the base '04-'06 bars to try and make up for the slightly softer springs.
I believe we had 17mm and 20mm for the rear depending on the model and the aftermarket options of 22 non adjustable to a 24mm adjustable.
For the front I think it went something like 25mm hollow, 27mm hollow, 27mm solid but don't hold me to it. The only aftermarket I'm familiar with is the H&R 28mm adjustable.
IMO a firmer bushing is mandatory with the aftermarket bars. It not only gives the equivalent of more bar stiffness, it also improves the reaction time of the bar.
