Default Combination of rear sway bars/axle stiffeners?

lookin to see if anyone has any combination of progress rear axle stiffener , trd rear brace , and or the whiteline rear sway. ......

I just got the progress rear and i like it but would like more........ whats the best add on the trd rear brace or a whiteline? or both? and yes i know combining these will cause oversteer. or well ummm almost oversteer. lol..... damn fwd cars.

thanks for any and all responses.

Someone did install the whiteline and the progressive bar a long a$$ time ago and everyone wanted the whiteline after that. The guy had no complaints whatsoever. I have the tC rear swaybar on my car and its the same thickness as the progressive. I might want the whiteline too. :D

here's an update. i had the progress bar on my car. i just got the whiteline in a few days ago. i firgured just for the heck of it, i'll put on the whiteline and leave the progress one on. so i go to install the whiteline........doesn't work. the "U" bar that goes around the torsion beam gets blocked by the progress bar. you can see it pictured below. hopefully that made sense.


the picture above is not taken by me, i got it from a pic wraith posted here https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...er=asc&start=0

so anyway, i took off the progress and put on the whiteline. what a difference. the whiteline make the back much stiffer, i only wish i knew about the whiteline before i bought the progress. don't get me wrong, for the everyday driver, the progress is great, but if you really want to push your car, get the whiteline.

it's in the link i posted, but be prepared to wait 3 months. it's a special order item. i had to wait 2 months, but he ordered the bars 1 month before i ordered. my opinion, worth the wait.

Hmm, where did my post go!?!

Darren, anyway it basically said the TRD frame brace is for tightening up the rear most portion of the frame, and is not supposed to do anything for the rear beam axle.

I didn'tknow the White Line bar attaches totally different than the progress. I have a hotkis bar, and it bols onto the bottom of the trailing arm. I think i'm going to try to get a Whiteline, since it's on endlinks and all. I ashould have researched before I bought.
