I just had the TRD Front STB and Cusco Rear STB installed - however I have not noticed any difference in handling.

Maybe I am not a sporty enough of a driver...................

For all the scores of members here who have had this no-brainer mod done, how did you notice the difference in handling?

I have the RMM STB and it is there more for cosmetics.

I don't drive the car hard enough to really tell.

the front strut bar helps in quicker turn in for the front end , eliminates front end chass flex , throw it into a corner hard while accelerating and you will grin ear to ear, for the rear it settles down the rear end jiggle , not to mention i had a bad crash with my silver gs 3 weeks ago totalled the front end hit a guy a 50 mph in his door post my front strut bar prevented the shock towers and all from caving in

shoot me a email at edgruber@hotmail.com and i will send you a picture of crash showing the bar and what it did

if you don't drive spitired enough, it is hard to notice anything but the sway bars.

just try some quick lane changes and you'll probably feel it too.

As I said in the other thread also, go over a speed bump at an angle - you should feel the car's a lot tighter.

I notice a little difference when I put on the front strut last Friday. I am sure the difference will stand out when I take it to the track. Buttonwillow anyone?
