Default Lexus TRD body damper quick review (rear)


japan Trd release a rear dynamic body damper that neutralizes body distortion and vibration. The question.. is there any to begin with?

My Lexus IS very smooth, very comfy. I added this rear body damper and didn’t notice too much, for 800 dollars retail price, it’s not really worth it if you live in areas that have good roads. I live in LA California and some roads are good and some bad, it was worth it to me. This body damper works continuously bump after bump, I can tell it soften the ride up a bit. But the best part about this damper is when I adjust my RSR coil overs damper setting to a ultra high stiff setting I can tell the ride keeps a comfy feeling without the harshness of being too stiff. Every feel dizzy or a sick to your stomach riding in a car with stiff coil overs? If yes the Trd body damper minimizes this feeling. Just passing on the info to you

I wish someone would make a simple aftermarket piece that's solid. I've been wondering about this though. $800 is kind of a lot to swallow. I wonder if the CT200h one would fit? could probably find those used.

does the front have one stock? i've never noticed that. i'll have to check out diagram.

Is200t comes with a front one, doesn’t have a rear one, ct200h does not fit.
