Agency Power better or Nonstoptuning is better?

Can ppl who got either one tell me what's the advantage of what you have?

I am planning to get myself a bday gift i can decide to get the TRD Sway bar or the Crank pulley...

any postive feedbacks are welcome. Thanks in advance

 

Id get the sway bar. I put mine on a few weeks ago and it makes the car way more stable. I dont feel like the pulley is a safe mod to do on a daily driver you need to rely on for the next few years. Theres potential for serious engine damage with it, that Im not willing to risk for a few HP.

 

I got the pulley advertised 10 hp 11ftlb .... and it actually feels like there is less engine vibration. much more power. revs are much quicker, mileage is better. But i would recommend the sway first. decide how long you are going to keep the car. I have heard both it is good and bad. Agency power says thier motors actually look better internally with the light pulley than stock, but the pulley removes the engine harmonic balancer. (little rubber ring on the stock pulley) which would cut engine life if the new pulley and motor wasn't perfectly balanced. As for me the tC is going to be gone as soon as the new "supra"comes out maybe a skyline? as long as they don't ruin it.

 

thanks for the quick reply...i was thinkin about the sway bar too...is it hard to install yourself?

 

Not at all. You can do it on ramps with the tires on even. Hardest part is getting the bars in and out..its a tight fit around the exhaust pipes.

 

if u get the pulley....get the NST one... i got it, and its awesome.

 

Id have to say both are good mods, neither a pulley or sway bar are SUPER hard to install, they just take certain tools. The best part is that even if you dont have the necessary tools, a good shop shouldnt charge more than 50 bucks or so for the installation.

That having been said, I have some NST pulleys and I have had good results. Check out this link for some good info...

does the nst pulley have that ring in it? Or just 1 piece of aluminum?

 

Solid aluminum...no damper

 

none of the aftermarket pulleys available for the tC have the rubber dampner. from the most expensive (unorthodox) to the most affordable (NonStopTuning) they are all solid aluminum. I have not had any problems due to the lack of the rubber dampner in the past few years, good luck man

 

Suspension first, always. The pulley will work when you're accelerating-- which is about 30% of the time the car is moving. The sways affect handling... well, pretty much all the time. You only have as much power as you can put to the ground.

 

how much should a sway bar cost?

 

i cant wait for lo bux to see this...and a sway bar should not cost anything!..should be for free! but actually it depends on what sway, some are better quality than others

lets see there are only three or four companys out that make sways for our car and the lowest ive seen is T R D around 130.00 .
