LOL - congrats. I don't know what other mods your car has, but if it's relatively stock, I'd be interested to hear if you think your car feels a bit tighter with just the bar on, because I never had just the bar - I had that put on the same time as L-Tuned springs/shocks.

Maybe right before you put it on, go drive down a winding/bumpy rode to compare.

Default Yup..

I'll post my impressions when I install it.

I didn't order the LCB yet. I will, soon though. The price for the TRD was $180 including shipping.

I'm considering springs / struts / LCB now, also, a rear STB. I come from owning a Q45a - which, handled like it was on rails with the Active suspension.

Hey make sure you take the big black washer rings off before you put the TRD STB on because it won't fit otherwise.

Also you put the bar on yourself correct?
How much do you think it weighs?

Thanks.
I think it only comes in the metallic gray. Gunmetal is a good description, but the metallic part means it's a sparkly type high luster paint.

No, I had the dealer put mine on when they did the L-Tuned springs/shocks.

No idea how much it weighs, but it's STURDY ... if I had to guess I'd say 5 pounds?
