Lower onto wood.
Rode like an old hay wagon but was nice and firm. The drive shaft eventually fell out because there was no flex but you can't have everything.
This picture just came in ....... @Tcoat, back in his prime, with his wife's Pacer.....

No it was blue and I had short hair. May have owned that suit once though.

So, after all this time... I guess, my only recourse if I want the actual correct bolts is to buy another TRD Member Brace Set, copy the part numbers, then either return the set or re-sell it here, or keep it new and sell it next year... Thanks for all the comments and no worries on the "Thread Jack", I'm sure I'll find something to Thread Jack at some point, LOL...

I hate to say, but even with all the part numbers you still might not be able to get the parts unless you have a connection with a Toyota dealer in Japan. I bet they are still TRD Japan numbers and the US dealer still will not have any cross reference, but I could be wrong.

Buying another set of bars sure sounds crazy. Go buy some bolts and put them in, then you can come back and tell us how no one likes to ride in your car now because it is too stiff. Save your old bolts for when you take them back off.

Buying another set is not crazy if I'm willing to fork out the $$$, which from my build, I've proven I would do it. Yes, it's sound advice.

Woah, woah, woah, elders is a relative term, considering I'm in my mid-forties. So maybe older brothers and sisters is more appropriate. I had the wife's family in town from Italy, so kinda got side tracked, but like ya'll jacking my thread, I didn't think too many people were paying attention anymore.


I do appreciate all you guys do...
