    Very nice pictures, but it's got the XRS logo etched on it. I don't know if it would fit, but if it did, I wouldn't get it. I wouldn't want an XRS associated with my Corolla S.

    THat is one good looking engine.

    TRD strut tower brace. It's labeled as a Matrix tower brace, but it will fit on the 03/04 Corollas. It's the best. I love mine and never regret it.

    it makes ur ride a little bit more stability. helps a little bit... but can't feel it a lot... i guess low down or get a sway bar can change a lot of the handling.. 8)

    You can really feel a diffrence, you will be able to take harder turns, and fly thru turns much easier.

    If ur talking about ride quality, no it wont. Your wheels, tires, springs, shocks will affect ur ride quality.

    Update on the XRS strut bar............it costs just under $500 for the bar, and you need the end plates as well which are $50. These are the wholesale prices too, list is even more.

    Wont TRD come out with an XRS specific strut bar in the future anyway? Or is this Stock XRS s/b better? I dont see no point in getting the XRS s/b id rather get the hotchkis one.

    Damn those are expensive, whew. It's not worth it. A TRD Strut bar (not XRS) will do just fine. Can't go wrong with that. Just get that and you'll feel a difference in cornering. For $120, you get a solid one piece stainless steele bar for better stability. No pieces.

    I have a 04 corolla type s. Have done a couple mods such as new emblems in the back and a chrome dash kit. Looking for a nice strut bar. What do you guys suggest? Was interested in the XRS strut bar, but 500 bucks is insane. How is Megan Racing Struts, those are like 40 bucks on Ebay. Or TRD, for like 130? Appreciate it, thanks.
