Think of it as putting your finger on a small bell and ringing it. Much quieter right? I come by the info by knowing a bit about physics..... and being a mechanic :þ I would ASSume that by putting small dampeners there, it prevents the NVH from travelling to the body (which will amplify it) and potentially bother the driver. The other likely cause would be due to Toyota adding disc brakes to an existing twist-beam and finding squeal/groan complaints. Rather than making a new twist-beam they just bolt those dampeners on until the next redesign.

In practice removing that dampener will likely result in no noticeable change in NVH to the driver.

Go to fastenal.com and order part number 1111 6380 it's a M10 1.25 x 30 millimeter Bolt you can use these bolts to the factory bump stops with no problem I used on my 2014 SE model

In that case I'll just remove em. I don't know if there is a fitments difference between white and the TRD unit. Nvh doesn't bother me.

The LE models do not have the dampers. Sway bar can be installed in normal fashion. The modification only applies to 2012-2014 SE models.

I installed my white line bar, I didn't have to remove any dampers on my SE. I honestly did not even see them or look for them during the install.

Then they weren't there. If they were it would be obvious. Did you buy the car new?

I'll take another look, I think it is because the white line installs differently.
