I ordered this for my 2021 Corolla Nightshade Sedan and I’ll say the installation process is easy. Though there was no installation video on the sedan version, we managed to figure it out. If you do end up getting it for your sedan, you will most likely have to cut a hole in the carpet to access the bolt hold unlike on the hatchback. But other than that, I have no complaints. I’m happy to have ordered from TB Performance.
Overall it does what I expected out of the strut brace but I can't help but feel like it could do just a little more if the brackets were designed differently. There are 3 substantial bolts that the brace could attach to on each side but instead of attaching to multiple of these on both sides they only attach to one each and then there's a small screw that goes through the other hole, So really all of the rigidity for the brace is riding on two bolts.
Had little trouble getting the bolts to line up but still was able to get it all flush and mounted. Than i noticed the side i was having difficulty bolting up had a slight curve to it. Send them a message about it and told me all should be fine, but if i wanted a replacement they would gladly offer me one. Told them i was more than happy with what i have and just wanted to share my findings with them. Overall im happy with everything and how my car handles now. Can't wait to buy the rest of their lineup.
The strut brace is great, but it needs a few tweaks. The brackets that attach the bar to the strut towers should be redesigned. They interfere with the metal tray under the plastic wiper cowl, and the ability to install the outer 2 clips that hold the plastic wiper cowl to the metal tray below it. The bolts that the strut bar mount to should also be welded about 1/4" closer to the windshield as the bar rubs the engine cover. If that was done in conjunction with a slightly smaller diameter bar that was equally stiff, this would be perfect. It just needs a little work still. It does look fantastic and I love the improvement it makes.
