Default Bar setups TRD and Hotchkins

I dont know much about strut bars and sway bars just that the fron strut bar hold the bars in place and reduces flexion during turns. Now my question is would this setup work or you cant install it like this or is it going to be worse for performance:

Well my first choice is : trd front strut bar and rear sway bar.

Now I dont just want a few suspension mods i want the best possible and bar setup too so i was thinking would this be better: Trd front strut bar, monster motor works rear strut bar, and hotchkins front and rear sawy bars. Is that possible i dont know where other bars attach to expet for the front stru bar so no clue if this is possible?

yeah trd makes a front strut bar for the tc and a rear sway bar so i was thinking this : trd front strut bar, mmw rear strut bar, and hotchkins front and rear sway bars. Any problems with this setup?

sounds pretty good i suppose, ive never had experience with that setup. havent seen the TRD strut bar till i just looked at trdsparks website, pretty new i see. looks good from the small pic but a bit pricey for a strut bar. i got DC front strut bar (just put in today actually) and a progress rear sway bar. solid setup for me imo. anyway, on a side note its hotchkis not hotchkins, good luck with your suspension setup, looks like it'll be a pretty good setup.

if you really want to carve corners, go with hotchkis. TRD is still great but not as extreme as hotchkis. with TRD u'll still have an excellent handling car
