TRD Strut bar for MKIV fits SC300 / SC400 / Soarer?
I have no idea... but for some reason it doesn't fit the Soarer.. I'm missing maybe half an inch. As in the bar seems to be a bit too long?

Yikes, yea that is kinda disconcerning..
Try a different one? Maybe the bar was just mis-produced..?

They should fit unless you have frame damage. All you need for it to work is to trim a small portion to clear the TB

Uh yeah there's no reason it shouldn't fit.... take a step back from it for 5 minutes, pound a couple beers, then go back out to the garage and try it again. Trust me 50% of the time it works every time

^ lol, i agree. Theres nothing like pre-gaming with a few beers before working on your car. Its starts to fit together like legos with enough mechanic-in-a-bottle

FYI... I have the same bar. It is just a tad bit long maybe about 1/4" but I managed to fit it right in. I have a picture on here somewhere floating around.
