Miss t has indeed got a trd one. (this is her other half currently, sorry, her better half, hahahaha)

I bought it for a Christmas pressie a year ago, or was it two? anyway, I got it from Japan, ordered it on 5th dec and we got it in April! Cost £280!!!

no doubt they are cheaper now, but a lovely bit of kit. Not only does it fit to both wheels strut thingies (techincal me!) but also to the middle, i#m not sure if the other versions, omp etc do this, i've been told they don't but i've not seen one.

I guess it all depends on the money you are willing to spend. It was a bit of a pig to have fitted as the wiper motor etc had to come out, but if you have a friendly mechanic this shouldn't be a problem.

oops, sorry just realised my mistake (typo) is above post

The TRD strut brace was £180, but with shipping, delivery and vat it came to around £230.

Don't have any pics of it on her car, just these before hand, sorry for low quality pics, my digi cam is :censor:

From looking into a Strut Brace for my own car, I paid £65 and found that the main difference was looks, you can pay over £500 for them (sod that!)

Front tyre wear caused by cornering at speed should reduce due to more tyre surface being on the road rather than the edge of the tyres going bald, thus improving handling during cornering.
