Default TRD Rear Sway Bar

so my sway bar is coming in the mail today and i dont autocross my car or anything just daily drive it so would it have any bad effects if i put it on the autocross holes instead of the street holes?

Not much, it will cause the rear end to be stiffer and a bit more road noise. Also usually the stiffer the rear bar is or set to be, it will be more prone to snap oversteer.

Autocross setting! Ive been DD'ing mine that way for about 2-3 months. MAJOR improvement in handling, and hella fun in corners (My poor goodyears LOL).

Snap oversteer can happen if you do a hard throttle-lift mid-corner. It can happen on a stock tC, but one of the side effects of having a stiffer rear swaybar is that the car is more prone to it.

Even on the stiffest setting on the TRD, it really isn't that aggressive. I daily drove mine on full stiff and it was fine.

I've been on full stiff for over 2 yrs with zero issues. A noticeable difference is that the passenger is not thrown around in their sit when taking sharp corners.

Well I installed the bar and I didn't have a problem taking the bar off but putting the new one in with. Just wheel ramps sucked we didn't have enough room to put it in so we had to remove my exhaust and and finally after about an hour and a half it went in god it was annoying
