I drove my cousin's talon and he had strut brace and sway bar and it made a huge difference in the handling... I'm definitely getting these two when I've got some extra cash

You'd be better off going w/ front & rear sway bars rather than a rear sway bar and front strut bar... I only had the TRD rear sway bar & TRD springs on my tC & it made a world of difference. I loved driving that car! I've been told that the front strut bar is mostly for looks...

BTW, TRDSparks.com has a lower price on the sway bar & the strut bar is the same price. Plus Sparks is a sponsor here & Ken is a great guy to work with! Smiley

i do not really race around a lot but i do think the xB handles well w/ stock set up and i guess the extra stiffness would help in  an emergency situation if i had to swerve suddenly or something...
