Can anyone shed some light on the following accessories (meaning do they really
improve the ride, worth the extra bucks, included in the warranty, what they do in layman's terms, blah blah)...

...rear stabilizer bar
...TRD shocks/struts ( that much better than OEM?)
...Strut tie Bar (under hood)
any thoughts would be appreciated...
Thanx

 

Rear and front support bars help stiffen the chassis, which is good for cornering. By having these you can help keep over steer in check. The TRD shocks and struts will help reduce body roll in corners too. In sportscar/racing applications these things work really well.... however.. how often are you going to be tossing the box around corners?

Just my opinion but if you only have so much to spend on customizing your ride (in other words, you're not independently wealthy) I feel your money could be spent better. Stuff like the sport muffler maybe to give it a better sound. Or maybe lowering springs and cool wheels to give it a nice stance and a better look.

Anyway you go, I hope you enjoy it. I'm just getting started myself. So far I've put on the OEM rear spoiler and OEM 18" wheels.

 

Well for me, I'll get the TRD shocks and struts after my current ones get busted. But that's not going to happen for another 60K miles or so.

 

TRD Parts aren't Waranteed by Scion, they're covered by TRD....
