Strut bar...

I just installed a Tanabe unit on mine...alarmed how much of a difference i noticed...especially in noise. Poly bushings and tokico blues rattle and buzz my car over bumps and whatnot. Probably eliminated/reduced my noise like 75%

That is an interesting positive for a strut bar and may help my TRD set-up with has shaken my sedan into Rattleville. Likely the 35 series tires have contributed too. I never could imagine a performance improvement seeing that the strut towers are essentially one with the firewall.
