3rd & 4th Generation (1992–1996 & 1997–2001)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 1992-1996 & 1997-2001
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
Ok so I already have installed Tokico struts and sprint springs. I wanted to finish up suspension and have ordered a whiteline rsb and a mid floor brace bar (just had to hahaha looked cool) and im on the verge of getting the extremely common yet little difference in stiffness front strut tower. They only reason i want is just to finish off my suspension setup because it still may make my understeer more predictable. but thats besides the point.
Main question: Is there really going to be a decent difference between the cheapo ebay bars and the whiteline/freedom design bars? I know the price difference is fairly different and i dont mind spending $60 plus for a bar but i wanna know if its worth it.
Yes i know i ask 1 noob question every half year and its that time again
They say V6 only, although I can't possible imagine why??? AFAIK, it's the same thing, hell I even took lynchburgCSI's eBay strut tower brace from his 4 cyl. and put it on my V6 with no fitment issues at all
From what I was able to draw from the whiteline website, they seem to suggest that the center bar is removable, just like the eBay version. So, I would tend to say that it wouldn't make a difference whether you go eBay or whiteline on this one.

I had an ebay bar, and now I have a whiteline bar. To be honest, the whiteline bar is a bit thicker, and a bit heavier than the ebay bar. Not by much, but every little bit makes a difference.

Apparently the ebay one is just as good. I forget who said that though. And yes all gen 3 5s and 1mz bars are interchangeable.
