My tom's lcb was a little bit more difficult because of the 2 extra connections it has. And those 2 nuts were tougher than the rest because they were in a tighter positon to get too.
But you will need to use the 19mm and 14mm sockets and alot of elbow grease.

Hey rominl,
Yeah, coilovers would be nice but my L-Tuned upgrade is only 9 months old. I'm not sure if I want to replace them already. I'd probably be looking at the Flex if I was swapping them out.

well, i mean, sell it now or later the springs and shocks would be about the same, why not change it out now and enjoy a better setup

I went from the TRD Front LCB (which I have for sale if anyone is interested...PM me) to the TOM'S Front LCB and I haven't noticed a significant difference...however, I have so much suspension work on my car that it's hard to tell exactly what part did what...
All I know is that it handles INCREDIBLY well...

I read before it does not help much as the GS has a stock one (though much more flimsy). I figure it would work well with the TRD STB I have already. Well I'm putting it on regardless and will provide input.
Funny, but I don't recall many people having this mod? Always TRD sways. What gives?

I felt like I could tell a significant difference when I had it installed.
I may pop for some TOMs rear end stuff next.

Oh sorry, I didn't know...I have so many people PM and email that they want stuff that until I get someone that is willing to send money, I don't even pay attention...
Just recently someone (Khang T Diep : kdiep1@lsu.edu)wanted to buy one of the Soarer logos and then after he said he was going to take it for sure, the backs out and doesn't even bother telling me.
Not saying you would do that (I don't think you would) but you can see why I don't really try too hard when it comes to selling stuff. I usually post stuff in the classified or in posts...people just need to take the initiative and email or PM me and say they want it for sure (and mean it...)

Update!
Well, I got lucky and our main man Steve Ganz had a pair of TRD sways so I jumped on it. The TRD front lcb is coming too. What I'll do is install the LCB by myself, then give driving impressions. Then I'll add the TRD sways and give driving impressions. This way, we'll get a feel of what helps what and how much. I lot of people have added multiple mods at the same time, so their not sure what did what.
Thanks ya'll
