The TRD strut bar with everything else stock mainly serves to dress up the engine bay. It will not affect your comfort/handling on it's own. But it's a nice first step.

I have this setup, and it makes a pretty decent improvement in steering and cornering. The effect is like suspension upgrade (shock, spring), but of course a lot less significant.
My wife has driven my car only twice; once before the STB and once after. She noticed improvement right away.

I seen a couple other posts where they did the same setup, and they reported same experience as mine.
I also did the LCB, which didn't make any difference that I can notice.

i agree, among all the suspension stuff i put on the stb probably did the least so far. but then i put on coilovers before i put on the stb, so maybe that's why.
