Strut bar difference

Anyone know if the black out of the two strut bars will fit the gen 5 camrys, and is there any performance difference between the different struts?

PTR06-06041-01 - red (the usual ones we see red -- w/angled bar)

PT901-53607-01 - Black (black straight, w/o angled bar)

they must have two TRD strut bars, cause mine's red and it's one piece... that looks like it's three pieces... i'd go with the red one, cause one piece is always superior to three piece...

I thought the angling on the strut tower was a little different than the gen5 so it wouldn't quite fit.

Yes, the TRD bar is more rigid.

The TRD STB is better, but I'm not sure that you'll actually feel much of a difference.

I have no idea what the stock SE bar is worth. It's not worth anything to me, I do know that.

I have the red TRD one. I think the red one has more mass and is more rigid.
Of course, you properly don't feel the difference between them.
If anyone has the SE bar and want to trade for my TRD bar, PM me.
We can talk about the detail. SF bay area only.
