Default trd lower brace

do you guys think its worthwhile to change the lower a brace in the front with thw heavy more sturdy trd one , i mean its inexpensive but do you think its worth it . i tried the search but nothing clear about it


i have the daizen sways , front rear upper bars and ltuned susp runnin 18in stag and drive pretty hard


any input greatly appreciated also with the toms rear lcb , i set my rear sways to the tightest setting and that seemed to stop the rear end jiggle/float completely

That's likely due to the HAs already eliminating a majority of the body roll. With a factory or LTuned setup, the front TRD components help out quite a bit. By themselves theya re incremental, and make up a larger part of the suspension bracing.

I like the design of the Tom's vs. the TRD as the TOM's has two swing links that provide additional bracing. I started with the HA's and I could literally feel and hear the difference once the TOM's LCB was installed. My front suspension had some odd noise and vibration, particularly on train-track like bumps. The TOM's brace reduced the steering and butt-o-meter kickback and turned the odd rattle to a muted thump.
