what other suspension modifications have you done?

IMHO, if you buy the $1000 top-of-the-line strut tower brace that even gives you s BJ as you roll down the road, it will barely improve handling at most.

I noticed a difference after I installed mine (TRD). It wasn't a night/day difference like after I put the TRD RSB on, but nonetheless I still noticed it. The front became stiffer obviously and felt that I had more control when cornering (less oversteer).

IMO for the like 15 bucks on ebay, I think it is worth it. I also got it for aesthetics though, considering my entire engine bay is accented. I have the achem 15 dollar ebay one achem, and I actually like it. All matter of opinion. No real handling gain though. I also have the car slammed, so my handling gains are through the roof compared to stock...springs are best bet for introductory handling upgrades, then add some struts/shocks, and youll have some decent handling...
