Installed motion control beams
 

Not sure that they do anything more than the stock bracing but they look pretty

Lol. At least you're honest about it.

They do look nice though

nice engine bay. so clean lol
but I still like my AEM strut bar better.

I tried counting the TRD logo's, but ran out of fingers. That said I'm buying the STI version soon, just to placate my OCD as I already have the strut brace and will have the draw stiffener too.

These look pretty cool though.

I would think they would show noticeable difference on the track. Selling an expensive setup like that that does nothing is not good business.

Selling expensive stuff that does nothing is very common since there will always be buyers.
The bling factor on those things would make the price worthwhile to many even if they never set a tire on a track.

It's only not good business if the customer actually notices they do nothing, having expected them to. Other than that, they're commanding premium money, and that IS good business. I think Toyota knows exactly who they're selling to.

I still think these have some effect. I'd like to see some data on these though to see how they perform.

Sure, they have an effect. The question is though, is it a better effect than the OEM pieces? Given that their intent is to lessen chassis stiffness, it's hard to compare them against the stock braces. The real issue is whether making this chassis more flexible improves handling, or if the claimed improvement is just a change to nvh perception.

I'd get them out of the blind factor but I already have the raceseng bars instead. But I'm curious if they have any sort of benefits?

Welcome to TRD.

Yep, I got them for the bling factor. I regularly track my car but just don't have the sensory perception when it comes to most parts to notice a difference.

Even if these do make a difference I'm unlikely to notice. A driver with more feel for the car might, but I know I won't.

Do you have stock in TRD?

For those that want to see the workings
