Strut Brace
Hi -
Does anyone have a strut mount braces for their ES? I have been searching the web and forums and didn't find anything. Please let me know if you have a strut brace on your ES and your thoughts.

I dont mind giving up a bit of comfort for a stiffer ride. Does anyone know which strut brace fits? What year camry do you have and I wonder if it would fit on a 2013 ES.

The 5th gen. ES was based on the Camry chassis. The 2013+ ES is based on an extended version of the Avalon.

I doubt the parts for a 5th gen. ES will fit properly.

I started looking into it and since I own a 2013 - I am afraid the 5th gen specs don't apply to the 6th gen ES.
I don't believe there are any Strut bars currently available for the Avalon...I will keep digging, I am determined.

I heard back from tanabe and received the following response:
Unfortunately, the item was tested but we never released it here in the States.
I followed up and asked the following questions:
1. Would you be able to build one?
2. If not, If I post a thread on a US forum and see if folks would be interested in purchasing the strut brace – could you build several?
3. Was there another reason it was never produced in the states?
4. Was it produced internationally and can I purchase one internationally?
More news to come...

Some parts do fit!
I was on 2012 4cly Camry springs at one point, now I'm using 2014 Camry coilovers kit on my 13+ ES. Haven't bought a brake kit but we still use the same brake pad size and rotors. 2013 Camry V6 intake fits. Not sure how true this is but I remember someone using a Camry bolt on exhaust on a 13+.
Now I would do some research before buying parts but when no one has done it, it's all trial and error.
