Tte Or Trd Anti Roll Bars?

[tof]

I read that some guys have now TTE anti roll bars on their IS and are very happy with it.

Is there a difference with the TRD one except that TTE one are rear adjustable in 3 positions?

What is the best choice for my car?

Are anti roll bars for Altezza, IS300 and IS200 the same?

I have no front strut brace, is it better to put it first?

Thanks.

I would get the roll bars first - more to gain than the strut brace - you may find it's all you need.

I think the TRD one is stiffer than the TTE one but not sure.

Yes I believe the roll bars will all fit IS200/300 and Altezza.

I think the TRD ones are a bit thicker and thats why they come with their own bushes. ( the thicker the better )

[Monster-Mat]

The TRD yellow anti-roll bars are thicker, and are much stiffer than the TTE, the rears are approx 50% stiffer and the fronts are 100% stiffer Than Std

the TTE anti-roll bars are made by Eibach

I know my TTE antiroll bar's do the job :)

I got the rear one adjusted in the middle position.. O.k La.

I have fitted the Cusco Upper strut brace too, only notice a slight difference in doing so.

But the TTE anti roll bar kit when fitted turned the baby IS200 Supercharged to a car it should of been in the first place.... SPORTY !

Whichever one you go for, good luck on your choice. I must mention that my IS 200 is a Jan 2000 V and the bushes where in very good shape, thus there was no need to change them, they work very well, although I have ordered the TTE anti roll bar bushes, and will interchange when I get these.

Not yet fitted my TEIN coil over kit yet... but can't wait to have the car lowered now.. but already handles like a dream . :)

Hi, I wonder how long will it take to install it? a garage quoted me a 4 hours job.

[Monster-Mat]

an hour max to fit the anti-roll bars

I finally baught the Hotchkis antiroll bar's and the Garage install it

in 1 hour max. B)

I've got a TTE anti roll bar. Do u think I will be able to fit it myself or it is better for the garage? I can do normal oil and filter change.

[SteveAudioX]

Fit it yourself...

All you need is an allen key, spanner and a rachet set. no specialist tools, like Mat said, and hour max..

I got mine up on a mates ramp and done it in 25 minutes...

[Monster-Mat]

yes you can fit them yourself, just need to make sure you can get the car off the ground, enough to be able to fit them

hi there. Bought the TTE set last week. Planning to have it fitted sometime this week. Just wondering if fitting it will affect my warranty with Lexus? as my car is still less than 3 years old.

and secondly, do you think my dealer (Cardiff Lexus) would be happy to fit it for me :) ? as i don't seems to be able to find any garage that i am happy to let them touch my car.

cheers

[Monster-Mat]

wont affect warrenty, its a Toyota approved part, TTE is part of Toyota

Lexus Guildford supplied and fitted my TTE lowering springs no problem.

Out of interest how much are the TTE anti roll bars and do they only make one spec ?

[SteveAudioX]

Got mine from TDi the link is up the top of these forums..

There was only once model by TTE, but the rears have 3 adjustments.

I am more then happy with mine, although there are others out there which are slightly more thick like the Trd ones...

You'll be impress with the mod... Guarantee it !

Steve - remind me how much they were approx - I don't want to go pestering TDI till I have the pennies in-hand !!

The cooling panel fitted a treat - thanks :D

[SteveAudioX]

£325 + vat for the set.

Mark @ TDi is very helpfull and extreemly technical minded. Sure he won't mind you calling for advice :)

[aido]

Theyre £325 on TDI - are these the same sort of things that Japsai have or are they the strut braces?

They are different.

Coupled with the japsai chassis braces would make the car taughter
