If you're one for all out performance or your tracking the car, by all means yes. But for my daily I didn't like it at all. To each their own. I have no idea what would posses someone to use this combined with another short shifter. No... Just.... No. |

Speedbumps suck unless you take them evenly Car feels flat in the corner and feels much more surefooted. Rear end is a bit harder to swing out. IMO. Great handling improvement. |

Just for shits and giggles, how much would you sell it for? I find my short shifter feels good, but the throw isn't short enough and the shifter is about three inches shorter than I'd like it to be. Something like that TRD part would allow me to lengthen the shifter and possibly shorten the throw a little along the way. |

How about the road quality? Will it become uncomfortable? Thanks again. Last edited by cslntuee; 06-23-2014 at 12:55 AM. |

The front bar is on soft and the rear is on hard so the car rides close to stock but understeers a bit more. It sounds like these bars tune out oversteer. But if the ride quality is jarring I'm not interested in them since I have railroad tracks and highway seams to deal with on my commute. |

Stock springs, have not tried with TRD springs yet. However I have heard wonderful compliments. TRD instructions vaguely mentions to install springs first. |

They do tune out some of the oversteer and make the car corner flatter but they also increase the on/off ness of the over/understeer. |

The TRD front bar goes up by 3 mm which is 14% (roughly indicative of spring rate increase) and rear bar goes up by 2 mm + a little bit which is 12%. The kit is designed to decrease oversteer in steady state and transitions. If the end links have more than one option for connection (more than one hole in the cranked ends of the bars) then this gets a lot more complicated. |

Big difference in throws! While I was waiting on my car to get finished up I was in a MT FR-S on the show room floor going thru the gears to see if it will be a diff when I get in mine. And Jesus I was pleasantly surprised. Very happy with purchase. Get it!!!!
