CSOCSO: The "big upgrade" is great. I recommend anyone that wants more control to the wheel to do at least springs, rear sway bar, and front strut bar.

As for the brake fluid cap hitting the strut bar (or vice versa), I don't see how it would affect anything, unless of course it just bothers you to have 2 things touching each other.

trd and progress rear sway bars. H&R is the best overall for just the rear but it's abit more than those 2.

anyone know if the greddy bar is year specific? or are they for all year tcs?

anyhow, I drove it some more today and I can attest to the fact that the bar is DEFINATELY affecting the car's handling at higher speeds even more so, Now Ive had a bit more time to feel the differences

here is what I notice

I like the fact that the car is more stable and that the front end doesnt lean as much as it used to, but on the downside, im getting some serious noticeable understeer when i hit the gas turning on the freeway on ramp, This is a major change IMO, i havent pushed it hard, because Im still unfamiliar with how the car will react.

the front end for some reason feels lighter and the wheels dont seem to be making as much contact on the ground as Im used to feeling. I dont know what's the real reason, but I just get almost a floaty feeling in the front end(its seems to have lost a bit of road feedback through the steering wheel), I think its attributed to the front end feeling more like a solid block.

but I did notice a big increase in understeer, I don't know how none of you guys not notice increase in understeer with a strut bar.
Now Im even more eager in getting the rear strut to balance it out, I hope.

If someone were to tell me this bar does nothing, than Id think they were crazy or they dont ever push their cars past 40mph. Because man.. this is not as tiny of a difference as some people make it out to be. I feel the cars handling become notifeable different when I pass 40 mph or so, even when Im driving on the freeway just in a straight line it feels different. biggest difference is when Im turning at a relatively fast speed and understeer rears its ugly head
