Original TRD STB > $850 knock-off.

Is $200 reasonable? Did you search our classifieds?

I'll take the titanium one due to it's lightness and I'm sure it will perform as good as the TRD. If you're into showing your car it could earn you some extra points (maybe).

Quick question: if I were to install this strut bar on a stock car/stock suspension, wouldn't that cause more wear an tear on my suspension?

My reason saying that is because I would be reducing body flex causing things to wear out quicker being that there is less leeway. Right or wrong?

It will fit. Just leave the ring on the shock tower in place. Boom. Done.

Nothing will happen but you should upgrade everything else first (suspension related).
