All purchased from Carson in '02

Yeah, how much for the sway and the lower brace if you were to part your items?

Why would you not want the package, with all else you've done? It makes quite a difference in the handling.

You can find pictures at www.l-tunedparts.com (Carson site)
Or you can look under your car. These sways weigh more, the brace is much heavier, and the STB is thick and sturdy. It is an add on, the car came without one at all, and the engine cover will come off and stay off when the STB is in place.

I meant actual pics so we can see condition of products. Keep me updated if you decide to part out as well.

THanks,
Brent

Well, I take my GS to the track and I don't like the stiff road when I'm driving normally. Also, I don't want the entire package because I already have a STB (Carson Tune) and the TRD STB won't fit the GS430. The engine sits higher than the GS400.

The STB fits fine but you must leave the engine cover off. I saw no negative effect from this.

That's something I wouldn't want to do, but there's still very little clearance if any. It will work though. All the best with the sale; let me know if you decide to split them up.
