careful, only sponsors here can do GB

and personally, with the pricing of the tom's stuff, i think it might be hard to do

I could have bought that brace from kandy but being the **** person I am, I did not want the gray. I know it is underneath but If I'm going to pay more to swap out my TRD, I might as well get exactly what I want. Lucky for you Ed.

One day. I already have the rear ones. It is funny that we all did it in different orders.
ok i will be fighting for the same stuff with you then, neo

Sorry Rominl I didn't mean it like that. Can any one talk one of our vendors into doing a group buy on the Braces. Is that possible?

hhee no worry man, it was just a friendly reminder, no biggie at all

i remember talking to some shops before on the pricing of tom's stuff. don't wanna go into details, but group buy just seems to be hard. still worth a try though

So this is not a recommended mod for those of us who are more performance minded and have lighter 18 inch rims????

you lost me on that one for i thought i was stating the opposite... with the larger contact patch it tends to encourage more movement within the front.. the solid one piece with the extra mounting point works real nice with the castor arms so your castor preset setting remains within its designed range and also adds strenght to the lower control arm mounting area..

remember the old NIKE comm.. it said "just do it" .. you wont regret it in fact i now look for more battles (safely of course) to get that look of amazement on peoples faces when i sit on their bumper in every move , its like how the hell is such a big car moving so rapidly in the turns , and lane changes

You can have the rear pieces. We'll just duke it out for the front.

Well, with Daizens, the rear Tom's and the UGOs up top, I already have a red theme going. The TRD is the only gray piece. My **** side just wouldn't let me do it. But then again, he did not offer it to me for below 3 either. Maybe people were not resposive at the higher price so you came in just at the right time.

lexforlife,

Did you have the TRD front LCB piece on your car before you added the Tom's?
