As far as I know, Do-Luck is the only manufacturer producing such a bar. Oddly, they produce one for the Supra, but the SC isn't listed. Looking at the photos I would assume that the Supra one would fit, as long as it clears the transmission hump, and tucks under the bars that anchor the seat belts. I guess we won't know until someone tries it, and I've contemplated being the test subject.

Strut bars
Are we talking front or rear? The only front one I know of is the JIC piece. I have one and it just barely clears the intake manifold of the earlier 1UZFE. Actually, it doesn't even clear until you remove the Lexus emblem off the top of the manifold. I suppose you could create a spacer or use washers to lift it slightly. I don't believe that anyone produces a rear strut bar for the SC. I custom built one from a cheap Supra front bar.

I actually just took the rear out this past weekend to redo the end brackets. I'm planning on installing Tein coilovers w/ EDFC. My original design didn't leave enough room for the EDFC motors. I'll take a picture as soon as it's finished. The basic design runs a straight oval bar over the gas tank with long curved end brackets, essentially creating a rear arch over the tank.
