While, it's expensive AND a bit pointless for some... I still think it do make a difference. Just like door stabilizer and rear window aero stabilizer... it make less 0.01cd and 1% chassis more rigidity. Improvements are improvements.

Don't have to agree with them. That's one of the reason why I haven't bought one yet.


0.1mm is just a shade under 4 thousands of an inch. Even if those springs are 1000 lbs per inch linear rate springs, and there is zero play in the system, at the very most they will exert 4 lbs of force on the firewall. You could literally make a bigger difference to the rigidity of the car, no bars vs the TRD parts, by pushing your foot on the fire wall. I'd be will to bet a small amount of money that wind resistance, over the area of the fire wall, makes more of a difference to the rigidity of the car.


It's snake oil, man.
