I was really hoping someone would do both of these together to see what they do. No way I'd do it for the money, but I dig the tech too and am interested to hear if they actually have any impact on the way the car feels.There is an old thread existing, it are performance dampers:
Pricey apparently, but I dig it for the tech
Don't know how good it performance (on track), compared to stock.
Nice!!!!! Is that brake master cylinder brace something you guys highly recommend? I’m really enjoying the solid feel from my upgraded SPL parts, extra adjustments now available and hopefully preventing future part failure. Amazed how fragile (look and feel of) the Toyota OEM parts are compared to the SPL ones. I have to buy an OEM right tie rod that’s slightly bent, prior to putting on the SPL parts. Who knows if that would have helped prevented it or not ?More TRD parts added to my TRD car. This time with the engine and rear brace. Also added a gruppeM intake and Verus mcb.
I run the Verus MBC brace and it works as advertised. Was actually one of the first mods I did on my car in an attempt to get better feel from the brakes. It does make jamming the JB4 in there a little more complicated, though! I suppose I look at the SPL parts a little differently. They are for sure solid. Certainly more so than the stock parts. However, based on what we both just did to our cars, we removed all of the shock-absorbing rubber bushings from the suspension. A big screw-up on the road (I think the biggest risk is here) or a bad off at the track and you're actually more likely to break stuff given it's metal-on-metal-on-metal action now, regardless of how sturdy those parts actually are. I talked this over a bit with the guy who did the work on my car and he said it was his experience on a couple of his cars as well. Parts worked as advertised, but if he really screwed up, he paid for it.Nice!!!!! Is that brake master cylinder brace something you guys highly recommend?

Which fender louvers are you using? Sayber? Something else?Installing some brake upgrades and cutting some holes in the fenders and hood for louvers - getting ready for a good amount of seat time this month hitting 4 separate tracks over the next 3 weeks
Not sure how I feel about the speaker grill design ?-Door Pull torture test install
-door speaker bezel design
No not the sayber one using the verus hood louver and have 6 others from different vendors for the hood and fenders to experiment with ... will have 3 on the hood, 1 each behind the front wheels in the fender and 1 on top of the wheel well directly
