I wouldn't worry about it dude.

A rear strut tie bar probably overkill unless you are running some very high spring rates on those progress coilovers.
It DOES definately make a difference I drove 2 of the test r&d vehicles both with the trd springs and sways and the difference of this brace installed is night and day. It's not a regular rear upper strut bar...it is a large triangular piece that takes up the entire rear hatch of the car but still allows for the spare tire and you can't see it unless the car is gutted..I wish I could post some pics of it but I cant just yet..


btw double posting ownz you...
It's your job as a salesman to convince people that your product is worth purchasing, and my job as a consumer to be skeptical. Becasue this is a tech forum and not a sales forum, I think its a great place to discuss the technical merits of the product at hand. Please excuse me for pooping on this thread.

With that said, I am not convinced.

A night and day difference?! Come on. That implies the difference is so vast there are measurable results. We don't ever have rear "towers". The struts are low in the body and fully supported but the frame. I'm not saying your product doesn't have merit, but it would sit low on my list of "must have" suspension mods. When you are talking about a rear "tower" brace you are saying that the torsional rigidity of the UNIBODY FRAME is the weak link in the suspension. I doubt more than a handful of daily-driven tc's reach that point, though I am eager to be proven wrong...

I concur with you about skeptism statment and as a consumer definately see your point.
I am not saying go buy it or claiming it is better than another product.

Of course these are all my opinons on the product too.. but again I will fully back up my claims as to it working in stiffening up the rear end on a scion tc.. of course this is all subjective as to how to measure it like you stated..I will however let you know that the final testing is definately being done on some very high h.p. tc's with great results.....

Overall we are going to have to wait and see until Kaeon does his review on here about it and see what other people have to say besides myself..

Can't disclose that info...
It'd be nice to see an Ingalls front strut tower bar with an integrated mounting bracket for the ETD

Just installed the Ingalls rear brace... and ....WOW what a difference!

I'm taking corners twice as fast as before! I can even tell the difference on the highway going in and out of lanes. The rear doesn't slip at all. The entire car feels much more solid. Scion should seriously have these as a factory option.
