correct me if i'm wrong but don't the TRD bars just connect to the top bolt of the strut & the Tanabe connect to the strut housing @ 3 points AND are adjustable AND cheaper ? As i'm going with the Tanabe bars instead of the TRD bar for that reason ... |

Yeah I'm looking at tan over TRD. But I'm waiting to see if anything else comes out.

Nothing cheaper than the Tanabe I've seen so far... there are others out there though through C-one and such I believe, but they get pricey.

I was debating the same thing and I finally ordered the Tanabe strut bar (read some good stuff on it and I wasn't sure if they fixed the trd one (since they had stopped the sale of them) so I just ordered the tanabe one and hopefully get it by Saturday..

I've had mine installed for a good 10 months now (Tanabe) and I love it. Works great and adds some nice detail. I paid around $90 w/shipping thru ebay.

You noticed a difference because you bought products that actually improve handling.

They both make a difference, but the rear sway bar makes a much larger difference from what I've seen.
There's a reason adding a front strut bar doesn't take your vehicle out of 'stock' in SCCA Solo Autocross, but adding/changing the rear sway bar instantly dumps you into Street Touring instead.
