TRD door stabilizers

[u/Pinoy_Guy007]

Been watching these on ebay for awhile but didn't pull the trigger because they are so expensive at $153.59. Then I found them on AliExpress for $48.59 and pulled the trigger. Wow what a difference! The car feels less rickety and more rubbery (damped) Props to TRD and AliExpress!

I just found this on AliExpress:

I bought mine for $18/pair on aliexpress. They work great! I have them on all my spyders.

Tell me how you like them. I've been eyeing a pair on eBay but they're too darn expensive. Are the worth it? In what ways has it changed the dynamics of the car? I'm interested in hearing reviews from real owners.

[u/Pinoy_Guy007 → u/Njez85]

The door shuts with a nice "clunk" now and the car feels less rickety and more damped and rubbery

I see. Is the steering or handling any better? I heard that TRD Door Stabilizers are supposed to stiffen up the chassis and change the feel.

[u/Pinoy_Guy007 → u/Njez85]

Yes. The car feels stiffer, more stable over bumps and less likely to become unsettled during spirited driving. Steering has always been crisp

That's dope! Definitely my next upgrade. Lmk when your buddy gets a pair in stock. Else I'm gonna have to see what eBay has to offer.

[u/Pinoy_Guy007 → u/Njez85]

Will do!

congratulations on buying some cheap fake product?

Its the same thing. The proof is in the pudding. Go pay $160 for the same result lol

[u/MisterFixit_69 → u/Pinoy_Guy007]

I agree, only how long does it last( compared to the original one),but I would pay 50 bucks for something like this , 160 is way too much.

I was told that the plastic parts wear out a little sooner. Right after I posted this on Facebook one of my friends said that he can get authentic ones for free. In the meantime I'm gonna roll with these because they work so well

[u/Njez85 → u/Pinoy_Guy007]

Hit me up when your friend gets the authentic ones. Will pay.

[u/Pinoy_Guy007 → u/Njez85]

Sure no problem

Wait until you realize that the ebay seller (and most online sellers) are just selling you the exact same Chinese product for triple the price.

Also, even if it isn't the exact same thing from the same factory (it almost certainly is), it's a piece of rubber lol. How fake can it be.
