This is not the opinion of the serious track guys on this forum. There have been good arguments made about benefits on street/freeway driving, though.

The jury is still out on it for me...

Bolt one on and convince yourself.

Well I’m taking the challenge. I bought the TRD RSB and as soon as I get the chance I’m bolting it on. I’m really looking forward to the benefits of better stability.

Great point. That's the only way to settle it for myself.

I've been hesitating based on the opinion of the more seasoned track guys and since I don't track my car and don't have any complaints with how it handles on the street, have reserved the funds for audio and soon to be Sparco seat upgrades. Maybe after I get the new seats in, I'll drop a couple hundred on the TRD rear sway just to scratch that itch.

I have made this point before but...with all due respect to the track guys I think it is a case of comparing apples and oranges. A car whose main purpose is running on the track has different needs than one whose main purpose is cruising down the street. I definitely noticed an improvement in handling and road feel after I installed my RSB, but again this is "normal" driving on public roads, not trying to shave a second off of my last lap at the track. On the other hand if you have no complaints as to your car's handling then perhaps your money is better spent elsewhere.
