Default Trd Lcb

I'm leaning toward purchasing the TRD LCB, but I have a few questions before purchasing. I currently have the Tein CS w/ EDFC. Will the TRD LCB effect my ride comfort? Will I notice a difference in handling?

I've search subject but thread came up with people have more then just the LCB but I want to know about just with the TRD LCB alone as a suspenion mod.

I don't remember precisiely when I put the LCB on my GS (it wasn't by itself so I can't really comment) but I do recall a an improvement in handling. Don't believe it will have much if any impact on ride comfort.

Default Lower Control Brace

If its not going to make a difference, do you think its be wise to purchase it?

If you're not really into handling, then no.

I have the Toms and I love it... The TRD is not as thick as the Toms but is still a huge improvement over stock.The only negitive I noticed from it is on really bad roads with pot holes and cracks. I notice more vibration inside the cabin on rough roads. It's a must have if you are looking into building your suspension...

the trd lcb didn't make the ride harsher, i think it helped to tighten up the steering feel a bit but not much

The TRD front chasis brace is worth the $. When I installed it, my car felt more secure and composed. The steering was much more point and shoot, because the front end was better connected. IMO Ride quality does not change at all.

This is a must have upgrade especially for the price. Plus this is a very easy DIY mod. I think you should get it.
