Default TRD front lower chassis brace
Hey,
currently i have a STB installed, and i was thinking of getting the TRD front LCB. Without any suspension upgrades in the rear, how will this affect my handling? Should i get the rear LCB before getting the front?

thanks for input/advice.

I would get the rear one first. The rear end of the GS is really sloppy. The front one already has one from the factory, not as rigid as the aftermarket ones...but it's still there.

after i put mine in, the car actually felt a bit more stable, not too dramatic. you feel it when going on turns on the freeway, the car feels more planted.

Yeah i think the TRD Sways help the most, but they are pricey...

GET THE REAR BRACE!!!!

Everytime I come out of a turn or exit my driveway, I can definitely feel the rear end being unstable.

Get the 6-Link. I felt that one. Harder to install, but I like it. The rear brace might also interfere with some exhausts, so look into that before you buy.

I am reviving this thread! Anyone here able to find a Tom's rear brace? The only rear chassis braces I can find are the ebay ones that are made by people I have never heard of.
