Well I've got some extra money coming to me this week and I'm going to put it into my tC

I'm going to pick up the TRD sway bar and I'm debating over what else I should do. I'm thinking either the front strut tower bar or the TWM short shifter & ****.

Which would be more beneficial? How well does the hotchkis tower bar work? From what I hear short shifters make one hell of a difference.

I'm going to end up doing both eventually, just wonder what I should do first.

Thanks

 

Strut tower brace will do very little. Shifter will make a big difference, especially if you feel the throws are too long stock (as I do.) Rear sway bar is a good choice and I commend you.

 

You can see that alot of posts here say the strut brace does littel because of it's proximity to the firewall. But the sway is a good choice.
I would recomend the TRD shocks, or the HKS, if you dont' care about the warantee (on the shocks). That wheel gap has got to go!

 

out of the choices, i would go with the sway bar and short shifter.

 

i just installed my sway bar.. sorry to say that I didn't feel much difference on the street setting... will change it to race setting and see if its better..

 

i'd wait another month for sema and see what happens there.

parts will be cheaper and more variety.

 

Can't wait for more stuff to come out. This gives me time to save!

 

I grind gears a lot because the throw is to long. I like to shift really quick :twisted:

 

get the rear sway bar and some springs. I have those 2 plus the front strut bar. I got all three put on at once, so I don't know exactly which is doing what, but man, oh man do I love the way this thing handles now.

 

Given the choices, I'd say get the short shifter. I'm sure you will notice a difference with this, and possibly very little from the strut brace.

Great choice with the rear sway bar. I'm almost positive that's my next mod.

is the TWM short shifter out now? Last I checked it was still in development...

 

Yes, see this thread.

 

My order of things (if I didn't have some of them):

shortshifter->sway bar->tie bar.

The TWM shortshifter is on its way, and I already have the tie bar installed from when I got the car.
