i know the sway bar will fit, but a reinforcement kit is recommended. the rear sway bar is my next mod.

do a search on it...its been covered MANY times.

Strut tower bar will bolt right on. The front sway bar has ball joint on end, a little different than LS, GS or GSR. Rear you nead to reinforce the chassis a bit. Do a search on beaks and BSQ, two kits for reinforcing the rear so the bar does not pull out.

The ITR has reinforced area where rear sway bar is bolted on. It is an area of some concern with respect to pulling the bolts through. If it did tear out, it would probably happen under load, ie a hard corner or twisty road, be a shame if you lost your rear sway bar and drove off the road, or damage the chassis like that and don't wreck, doa asearch on the subject.

the rear subframe is easily reinforced with a lower tie bar. comptech has one included in their sway bar kit.

benen, spoon, skunk2, and comptech all have excellent pieces. no drilling required, and the stress is releived. no bolts pulling out.
just drive sanely until you get that thing on.
