Washed it for Caffeine & Octane tomorrow. Then went to the P.O. to pick up some parts I ordered.

TRD Aero Stabilizing cover & number lock bolts


Do I drive a Toyota? No. Do I care? Also no.

It makes the rear of the car extremely solid feeling. It also makes drivetrain noise much louder. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I think it may be a bit overkill and just stiffer bushings would have been a better option for a car like mine which still sees most of it's time on the street.

The adjustability is a nice option but I ended up sticking with OEM height. Per their instructions raising the subframe in the chassis will reduce traction on corner exit.

I have the Whitline inserts installed and while nice the ass end still feels a bit "Squishy"



Did you use the rubber pieces top and bottom?

That's good to know about the WL inserts. To me it's not intolerable, to non car people the amount of drivetrain noise makes the car sound broken. I actually kind of like the gear whine. I used the rubber piece on top only. My kit came with only 4.

I already had a diff brace, stiffer motor mounts, trans mount insert, and diff bushings and this also made the shifter feel much more solid too.

I have the WL diff inserts too and get a bit of gear whine. I like it and am planning on doing the SPL's lol


If you get tired of them we can swap + cash on my end

LOL I will be keeping them. I don't plan on going through that install again anytime soon.

Because I live in Chicago, and people here have the driving skills of a dead, decomposing squirrel. And the merge ones are on my otherwise miserable daily commute, where I entertain myself by boxing out the assholes who cut past a half-mile line of exit lane traffic, and then try to force their way in where the road splits.

I'm originally from New Jersey, but even my people can't hold a candle to the Muppets behind the wheel in Chicagoland.
