Tanabe vs. Trd quick!
 
I am literally an hour from making a purchasing decision on strut bars. I'm torn between the tanabe vs. trd strut bar & I just need some opinion from you guys on wich one is better. My main questions are,

1. Is one stronger than the other?
2. Is one better built better than the other?
3. Witch one affects the handling the most?
4. What are your personal reviews(both tanaba/trd strut bar owners.)?


I am soo rushing this topic, because, I have my whole suspension install,(Tein H-techs, hotchkis sway bar kit), planned for this weekend, and I just decided to add the whole shabang with the strut bar, soo please understand my urgency,because if i dont order it today, I wont get it till next Monday, & i will just be doing double the work :crazy: . I am very tempted of the price of the tanabe, but if price is what I have to give to get quality then money is of no biggie. Thnx.

tanabe is made very well

I would say the tanabe just for the fact that not to many ppl have one... they both do the same thing.
just my 2 cents

Tanabe is about 60 bucks cheaper.

Thanks for all the input fellas, I decided on the Tanabe strut bar, the fitment is great, plus the red anodize looks really good. You can check it out here w/ the rest of my suspension upgrade. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=262567

Its nice but I myself prefer a solid bar whereas the Tanabe has the bolts with bracket on each end. I had the Tanabe on my tC and I would notice those bolts would get loose ever couple of weeks or sooner. IDK if that affects the way it works but I would think so since they DID get loose from driving it.
