Default Strut bars

Was looking at the gs classified section and noticed something. What's this I hear about the install for the TRD STB being rather difficult? Is the UGO one that much better? If anyone could shed some light on this for me please? Thanks for your time guys.

No TRD STB install not dificult, some of us had to jack the front end of the car up to fit the brace, that is all. I love it!

If one couldn't even jack up the car, I wouldn't recommend him to modify his car.

Front STBs are a breeze to install; 30 min tops. I don't know the physics behind having to jack up the car. The front UGOwas definitely easy.

The rears are always a little more of a challenge, since you need to remove the trunk liner, and line up the slits or openings for the connections.

My TRD front STB fit like a glove without any jacking up. Took all of 5 minutes to install.
