It now has TRD Strut Bar ($165.49 well worth i, and not from Ebay). Drove it around today and it made a massive difference. Now to get a rear sway bar

Yes i know its a dirty engine bay, but its still little bit cold outside to wash my car completly.

Nice.... do you have any full car pics?

If a strut bar made a difference wait till you get a RSB!
One thing about the RSB is do your homework on it, most RSBs need a reinforcement kit, cause the RSB is so stiff it could warp your sub frame.

looks nice

looks good, but i never understood why people pay $150+ for a Strut Bar when thats the same price for a Sway Bar

I just got both the TRD Front Strut Bar and Rear Sway Bar and the difference is HUUUGGGEEE! If you love driving on windy roads, you'll be in heaven with these two improvements, provided your tires are somewhat sticky.

Traction AA good enough? And where did you get the rear sway bay from?

I suppose yeah, not that familiar with rating grip of tires. I just know the lower the UTQG number, the more grip they have, generally.

I bought both from a sponser on 9thGen, $290 shipped for both, pretty good deal imo.

EDIT: Won't let me post the link for some reason, just Google 9th gen corolla.
