Ok, I just installed the stock strut bar on a vert. I've been trying to get the TRD version but i am unable to find one in good condition. Anyway I've notice a slight improvement and was just wondering if any other vert owners notice it too. Sometimes I think it's just all in my mind.

It's a 1999 Vert. From what Keiri said in a earlier fourm the 99 GT came with the GT Sport suspension already on it. The strut bar I have notice it on most GT that I have come across, but I have seen a couple without it (this came from my search for the gen 6 celica, as you may know I just got the car recently). After some more testing with it on and off I can say the difference is there. I had my girlfriend drive the car for a bit with it on, and then I remove it without telling her. All I told her was that I added the K&N filter, but she responeded saying the ride seems slightly different. I asked how, and she said the steering wheel felt different when turning. She doesn't know much about cars. So after I added it back on she said the ride was better and felt normal again. I didn't need to explain anything to her, but just said thanks.
