Do the front and rear strut braces make a difference as far as coming off ramps and passing on the HW I'm thinking about getting some if they make a difference not for show.

I second it. Go for it, and get rid of that sloppy stock handling.

I third that. BOTH of them together make a noticable diference

But not as noticable as the Lower Braces.

If you have to get only one TOM's brace, get the 6 links. It makes more difference than any other single brace.

If you want sharp steering, get the Daizen steering rack bushings while you are at it.

Shawn, just get some coilovers man. I'm in the process of installing alot of goodies on my car since the last time you saw it. I'll hit you up for a ride when I'm done and then you can decide which parts you wanna buy.

Yes, they help. You will notice the car flatter in corners and a slightly more stiff ride. However let me say TRD sways are the biggest difference, like night and day. The braces should compliment the sways, IMO.

I am running Front and rear braces with stock Sways now on my 430 and I do not have the same confidence nor does the car have the same capabilities as my old 400 with the same braces and the TRD sways.

I can easily feel the car stiffer but it oversteer develops. Gonna order my sways soon
