    None of them will affect the warranty. Toyota would have to prove that an aftermarket part caused something else to fail before they can deny warranty work.

    The plus rear sway helped the rear hook for me better in the turns, almost like you can feel a grab point. I used Irv front and middle chassis bars together. That made the body feel as one and roll as one if you had it installed you would know the feeling. Very satisfied with my suspension upgrades the tein htech made it all come together. Lastly i have a tanabe front sway bar thats going in and im hoping that will give me the handling I want.
