and does it worth ?

The TRD strut bar is really nice; it is one piece which makes it stronger than most 3rd party bars.

I have a Vibrant bar on my Corolla; it cost me about $90 Canadian, and I noticed a difference in handling right away.

Here is a pic of the Vibrant bar:

I had the Same one as Bishamon there... but I upgraded to a TRD strut bar..

and I can honestly say that it is definately more rigid than the Vibrant bar...

Boths bars do a good job... but the TRD is much better... the problem with the TRD is the outrageous price :roll:

but if money isn't an object.. go for the TRD... I was lucky to find a used one... so I got it for a more reasonable price

how much is a TRD strut bar?

[bzride]

about $330 with taxes :roll:

you may be able to get it a bit cheaper... but not much

I have a CK sports tower bar on my ae-92 (sr5, 2 door) and it's a 3 piece.... and i noticed a huge difference (first non appearance/sound add on to the car i did).... and yeah, the TRD would be more rigid, but i can't see that it would be THAT much of a difference.... if you can tighten the 3 piece (i have adjusters on my 3 piece...i can tighten it left to right) and it works GREAT!.... but anti-sway bars will help much more than a tower bar..... which i hope to get soon..... (since then, on my suspension i also have KYB GR2 struts with suspension techniques springs)....

Whoa........ $330
i thought it was like $1XX ....

if you are interested in one, I have some instock, email me at supershyguy_2000@yahoo.com and I can save you one!

[toyotaspeed90]

supershy.... what are you talking about? tower bar for the 01 or anti-sway bars for the sr5/gts ae-92?

I don't think you can get a tower strut bar for your rear! You can only get it for the front.

The reason is you strut towers are sunk deep in your rear dash and there's barely enough space to stick anything in there because of the rear window..

I don't know about the anti sway bars, but if you have them on your SR5 please give me some info on where you got them from and how much, I'd love to ge them for my car. I only have the strut bar on the fron of the stock AE92 GTS.. I also have KYB GR2 on the front and TOCIKO's on the back, and I have 1.8" Apex springs..

yeah, i know you can't get a rear strut tower bar (i took my rear dash apart for the shop that installed my springs/struts).... so i know how it's all put together..... i was asking about the anti-sway bars (which are bars that tie the bottom of the suspension rather than the top) and both front and rear are made for the ae-92
