no, and it is a different bar. If cost is your barrier and all you will ever do is drive on the street, then the TRD is a very good choice actually. And you dont need new endlinks with the TRD, so no worries that it doesnt come with them. If you are just daily driving and not really pushing the car, then you would always be on the softest setting of this bar, which is around what the stiffest trd setting would be, probably just a tad stiffer.
But, $220 for this is not a bad deal, especially if your tC is a weekend warrior like some of ours (autox, road course, etc)

Again, just because it is a good deal for a sway does not mean people should jump on it.
Not trying to hurt any sales, but a lot of people dont seem to understand WHY you run various sway settings and just assume that they NEED this bar, or any bar for that matter.
And I know this wont hurt sales, because there are plenty of people that compete with their tC that will want this bar, and will be buying it for the reasons they should rather than just because it is "rare" or yellow

If something is a good deal than it would apply to anyone that is in the market for that item. It does not matter whether they understand the full ability of the item at the beginning. The fact that the item has abilities beyond their understanding, makes the deal even better.
Like you said, you can just place the bar on the softest setting for daily use. If down the road the owner decides to up the performance, the bar has options to do so. This is the beauty of Dan Gardners Sway. And this sole reason is why the sway bar is great for anyone who is in the market for one. Plus...the bar is yellow and rare. Two bonus features that should not be pushed aside.

yea the odds of me autox are prob non existence, this is just for spirited street driving. Im going to think about it some more. But i agree with Domo's rationalization. This bar isnt insanely priced over a standard bar and it does allow for additional benefits from other standard bars.

unless you powder coat it, it will most likely flake off. The whole bar is a spring, so getting paint to stay on it will not be super easy.
Plus, if you paint it pink, your car wont handle as well

Yeah, I meant powdercoat. I'm getting my valve cover, strut bars, sway, and rims all coated at the same time.
And yellow is too awesome for me. Maybe when I get within a lifetime chance, then back to yellow it'd go =P haha

no way, if you paint it pink, you'll raise awareness for breast cancer! whoo!
