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.

I took mine off when I first got the car to determine the effectiveness. Toyota wouldn't put it there if it didn't make a difference and I can honestly say that hitting a turn at 30mph without that feels like crap. Then I put it back on and put in the ST205 rear bar. Hit the same curve even faster, with even more control. Now I've got a cross bar that goes between both struts on the way that is designed to go with the OEM strut to firewall bar. I didn't want the TRD one because I'd have to take the whole bar off every time I wanted to do a tune up, or tinker. This one comes off much easier.
