Default Hotchkis springs + TRD rear sway = LOVE

so i've been rolling around on just hotchkis springs for about a year and ive been pretty happy with the ride and the handling.

BUT YESTERDAY

the TRD rear sway bar went on, as well as the Hotchkis strut tower brace, and WOW what a difference!

the sway bar totally cleaned up the handling since the rims went on and the system went in the trunk.

i HIGHLY recommend getting the TRD rear sway with any set up springs you have, you will LOVE it. the ride isnt too harsh at all, but the car will hold itself to the ground much better than it did before.

I'm glad you guys went the right path...most on here don't want to spend money on a sway bar but rather body kits and such. sway bar makes a world of a difference...not so sure about strut bars though unless you are doing some heavy cornering.

Front strut bars are pretty much an aesthetic mod on the tC.

QuietThings- I probably don't need to ask, but you did go with the 'race' setting on the sway right?
