This week I fit front and rear sway bars to the TR250. Tonight I went for a drive, wow, it really transformed the handling, corners very flat and neutral, love it, doesn't seem to have affected ride adversely. Car feels very taught and under control.

These are Addco bars I believe 7/8" front and 3/4" rear (TRF sells them, probably others as well), came with nice polyurethane bushings. I am just amazed at how different the car feels, love it, reccmmend it.
 
I have sway bars on my 3 and it handles great in the corners. If you like to drive country roads at a fun speed (not to fast) they are a must.
 
Just drove around the neighborhood, mostly tight 90 degree turns, didn't get too crazy, but it certainly never felt like the rear end was going to break away, if anything neutral to slight understeer, felt really good, can't wait until some of my club autocrosses later in the year, just thought I would share my experience in case anyone else is considering adding or uprating sway bars to their 4a/250/5/6 I know the 6 came with a front bar standard.
