You could see if mrk1 would mind making you a rear seat brace. If he says yes, let me know. I want one too.

Dude, if I don't use my back seat, I totally would buy that... but sadly, I do, so that option is out for me

He said that brace maintained rear seatability. You just wouldn't be able to fold the seat down and stick big objects into the trunk.

That's the problem. When I go to autox, I need to fold the backseat down to put my wheels.

...or if I can find the way to put those tires differently...

Just can't win em all, I guess

After watching that video all I can think is that if I add these and some washers to my front subframe mounting bolts, the car would feel like I'm driving a Lincoln while handling like a Koenigsegg.

Haha, we all wish that

Is there so much flex in this car that it needs to be damped? Not that I noticed. Then again, people swear by their strut tower braces.

False. TRD makes no liquid or gaseous parts

Sure but that's akin to saying they don't make springs either. I mean they have to buy in bulk the damper fluid and gas and put their own label on it.

True, but if I had the cash burning a hole in my pocket, I'd scoop up the TRD strut bar. Because blingy ass TRD carbon.

So, Toyota is suggesting improved performance by removing a rigid chassis reinforcement strut and replacing it with a shock absorber which permits some of the flex. Wouldn't this suggest the chassis was designed to allow the flex in the first place? Why supply the car with the OEM braces, if this is the case? How is a flexy chassis going to make the suspension work better? None of this makes any sense.

The only thing I see this part doing is removing some NVH, which might give the impression of a more solid chassis, but wouldn't simply removing the OEM bars do the same thing?
