I've searched anti-sway and sway bars on spyderchat and I really didn't find anything current or relevant to my question.
So, my 2001 has a 2ZZ engine, TRD brace set, and ECSTA PA31's w/OEM wheels. I'm more of a highway driver, not a "spirited" driver. E.g., back in 1979-1980 when I joined the Army I drove an MGB from Mass to Cali then to Texas. First car was a 383 CI Fury, which did 100 the day I got my license. Regardless, I was playing wingman yesterday with a Corvette; topped out at around 104 mph, which I know I shouldn't do unless I want to get the pants off a girl, but I figure I need to have a little fun with the car before the leukemia gets me (so far doing well, had six rounds of treatment, and with luck the oncologist puts me on oral rituxin on 19 August), and I turn 71 next week.
Anyhow, while in the 90 mph range, I do feel a little sway, nothing major, but I feel the ride could be better. Tires are new in the back, front around 5k miles, so plenty of tread.
Solutions/comments on the value of anti-sway bars? Otherwise, do I need to go 16-17 inch rims, coilovers, etc, or just slow down, which is boring.
Peace
