How does the GTSPEC Rear Sway Link Brace modify the handling? Does anyone have any experience with this brace?

Its worth it , but i'd buy a standard style rear sway bar first over the gt spec rear sway . I did the gt spec first and I felt a huge differnce like the back end stays really level around turns . I have both the gt spec rear and 23mm ultra racing sway bar and feel they are both worth the price for the improved handling.

I'm encouraged! I already have the rear sway bar installed as it should be mandatory. I'm just not sure what improvement that the GTSPEC rear sway bar link will provide.

Calvin with GTSPEC sales provided this information, "If you are speak about GTS-SUS-1232. It will make a huge difference due to the reason that it links up from the bottom of each trailing arm... not from the top where there is support already. You can say it's an additional sway bay bar. You will feel your vehicle more responsive in the rear and stiffer."

I'm using their orange bar, I believe it's a pre-production piece. I have to say with the TRD sway bar and lowering springs I can corner amazingly well. I did all three pretty much at the same time. Pretty much, I can go more than twice the "recommended" speed around corners. There is a 20mph exit ramp where I live that's similar to a cloverleaf, and I can go 45 easy on it.

Thanks, Astroman. I'm buying one. I would love to install lowering springs, but the road conditions in ZIP Code 23024 make them impractical.
