TRD roll bars to fit IS200 or IS300 or altezza

TRD Stabilizer Bars were developed to minimize body roll during hard cornering. Whether used for performance driving or circuit racing, they always ensure the maximum of control without sacrificing ride quality. The hi-performance driver will instantly appreciate the stable, or "flat"vehicle attitude during hard or high-speed cornering. TRD offers both front and rear stabilizers, allowing the user to custom-tune the amount of over or understeer desired.

How simple is it to adjust these?

I'd fit these along with the strut braces right?

Hmmmm

paired up with a strut brace, will make your car feel like its on rails

they will make a dramatic difference to your cars handling

Think I'll be having a set of these please but one quick question for you if you don't mind?

Mat said that he fitted the yellow TRD bars and I notice these are blue - is it just a cosmetic difference as I don't see any other kind listed on the TRD website for the IS?? Are these just the newer models? (Just had another look and see the Sportivo ones but no pics? Maybe they're the yellow ones?)

Thanks again mate

whens this being sorted out? May?

How are they being shipped over - to individual addresses or in one big package ? - I got stung big time on an air filter and want to avoid a repeat if it's at all possible ...

as soon as there are enough people to make up a group buy
minimum is six
i would envisage early may





the final details are yet to be sorted, as it will be dependant on how many are being shipped
there is no stings, and is explained in the gold forum

pm me and let me know what happened!!

Apparently there is a difference in the Yellow and the blue TRD Sways, one of these is softer but still better than the stock..

I would prefer going for the Yellows tho.. as Mat Says.

Put me down for a set please Bazza old chap

The web site only seems to list one type - maybe they have stopped doing the other type?

The english part of the site doesn't list everything, much better to look here:
http://www.trdparts.jp/list_altezza.html

If you hover over the links and look at the status bar at the bottom of your browser you can get an idea of what each thing is.

Umm - that site shows yellow and blue (or my monitor is knackered ) !!
What difference do the bars make to the general ride quality - or do they only impact cornering ?
Trying to make my mind up and justify my decision !

hmm, could be persuaded. How and who will we pay?

put me down for a set please matey

payment can be made through a direct link via credit card to the distributer
a known and well trusted company and recommended through mat.c

I dont have the TRD ones but i have got the TTE's(red ones) and this is one mod you should go for as you can throw(Honestly)...the car into corners without fear of losing it with understeer/oversteer.

You will go through corners quicker/smoother than you've ever gone before.

Yellows are stiffer (race spec)

they do not affect the ride, only noticable in cornering.much better

same as money pete

How much are the TTE ones compared to the TRD ones?

Seems odd they're hollow tubes - thought they'd be solid.
Pretty sure the TTE bars are solid... they're bloomin heavy enough
And the yellow TRD ones... Mat ??

yellows are im Possitive,

I'm a definite then mate

The red ones from TTE weigh a ton(not really they just feel like it).

And the red ones are fine for me Mat as i'm not racing my IS.

OK, definitely interested, when are you going to put the order in/are they likely to arrive?

orders will be placed in about 1st or 2nd week of may , does depend on the interest



the picture above is just an example:

the bars we will be getting are the YELLOW ones
all bushings are included

wether or not they are hollow, i am not sure but whatever they are they have been designed to fit and perform extremely well

I am very intrested, need to have a look at getting the cash together first. will post back and let you know in the next week
Cheers

erm, can you put me down for a set too please

After blagging my mate to buy my headunit, I now definately want a set.
Please add me to the list.
Cheers
Jim

But thank you Bazza for setting up this Groupie. gotta wait till the weekend to fit them now. how big a job is it? and whats the best way to do it?
lift both sides of the car up so the wheels are not stressing the bar?
