1st mod...TRD LCB
I picked up a TRD LCB and had it installed today. I'm not overly impressed, the difference with the LCB is minor. The install took about 5 minutes on a lift.
Pro: The front end twists less, feels slightly more solid.
Con: The dash has started to make little creaking noises.
I know sways will make a big difference, eventually...

Don't go too stiff w/the sways if you are planning to get coilovers. Stiffest swaybars doesn't mean better performance.

thanks for the info. i was hesitant about getting an LCB, but since you say it doesn't really make too much of a difference, i'm gonna pass on it. i already got the bilstein HD shocks and they are stiffer than the oem shocks. i'm running on oem springs.

Well, I have Toms front and rear lower chassis braces, and for me they made a significant difference, especially the front brace. I also have Daizen sways and Tein CS coilovers. When I added the front lower brace I could immediately tell the difference in steering - much more precise and quicker response. The car just goes where I point it. Great investment for me - now if I could just get the Toms 6 link ( waiting for delivery ) to really bring the rear end together.
By contrast I felt that the front STB I just added didn't make too much of a difference. Good luck.

You will feel the biggest difference with the sways and shocks/springs (or coilovers) change. The chassis braces are fine tuning suspension pieces. The changes are somewhat subtle but you will get more confidence once they are on. I went sways first then LCB and I definitely noticed a difference.
