Default Need Less Flex/Roll, More Stiff!

So far i got the TRD springs/struts, front strut tie bar, rear sway bar, and good wheels.
What else can i do to my car to make it as stiff as possible? I was thinkin along the lines of maybe a frame brace or something. anyone know about suspension/handling that can offer some advice?
Thanks

Why do you want to make it as stiff as possible?

Sometimes you can be to stiff.....

Alex,

I would suggest the GTSpec frame brace. It looks to be a really great mod at a not so expensive price. I myself just purchased a TRD Underbrace Bar for my xA.

Yes the Gt spec is one of the best part i have ever put on my Xb, Besides the Trd echo /xa frame brace. You will lay so flat in the turns you wont know what to do with your self.





PM me for more info on the echo frame brace/install directions/pics/price

True, sometimes you can be 'too stiff'. BUT, why didnt u go with the GT spec brace and finally where do i get the TRD underbrace bar? TRD puts some serious research into the parts that go into our cars.

Well they are acutally for two different areas of the car. The GT Spec one is a front frame brace and the TRD one is for the rear. I do plan on getting the GT Spec one as well as a Progress Sway bar when i get my tax refund check.
