Question TRD door stabilzer - your thoughts

Not looking to put on a flame suit or start a heavy debate, but--

Has anyone done these? I was researching these on the 3GIS subsection (can't find the link now) here on ClubLexus and found it quite interesting.

If anyone has on their LS (whichever year/gen), can you chime in on your thoughts?

I personally never heard of these devices. So I spent about 20 min looking it up, reading reviews and understanding what it is claimed to do.

I could see this help on a mega mass produced lower end car but, does this do anything(that can be measured on a higher end car) ?

Even more, would this do anything on a LS ?

I have these on my sc430 it’s made it more rigged nothing substantial to note. I would just save your money and buy some Toms bracing if you want to improve the handling a bit. so far I have the Toms front strut bar and some rear bracing that holds/stiffens the rear differential and it has improved driving this big o boat at turns.

Matt, thanks a bunch for the input!
I've always figured though that those front strut bars do little to nothing, but I'll look into it.

I think this was an April Fool's day joke that somehow got the date removed!
