OEM v aftermnarket front stress bar

[widow's son]

Does an aftermarket front stressbar have any advantage over an OEM?
Also what is the "best" aftermarket front stress bar?

What is a stress bar? Do you mean sway bar, or possibly strut tower bar?

[widow's son]

The TRD strut tower bar is an option, but unless you have a supercharger, there's really no reason to get one. It was designed to be used with the supercharger because the stock strut tower bar was too big to allow the supercharger to fit. Frankly, the stock bar looks like it provides more stiffness than the TRD unit, although I've been told that the TRD one is marginally stiffer. Assuming you still use the stock bar, I wouldn't bother looking into an aftermarket bar unless you get the supercharger.
