    Toyota dealership started making *or selling* TRD strut bars for the 8th gen corolla again, here anyways.
    Otherwise you can find a ton on fleabay.

    Which one did you have? I sold mine a while back, not sure who bought it, it was a pretty damn good one.

    like the one I had (the universal shiny ebay one most people get) does nothing for stiffening, especially considering they've just got bolts that rotate freely when installed.

    Yeah, a bar that is all one piece with no flex points is the way to do it.

    There are quite a few websites that still sell the TRD bars. I definitely notice a difference with mine. Especially with my sticky Falken 912 tires ON MY NEW RIMS YO:

    I took them off because that was a pic taken 200 miles away from home, and the right valence is right in the way of the exhaust, so I didn't want it to melt. Constant driving for 5 miles will do that haha. But around town it cools off before it can melt so it's not an issue. They are back on the car, I'll get more pics. And the gas door I was bored and thought it would look cool.

    Gold I can only get three fingers under the front bumper, I scrape everything lol. I can't go more low until I get coilovers.

    My rear valence sat right above the exhaust too, it wont hurt it unless your exhaust is literally touching it.
