So I read conflicting reports about about fitment and so I ordered one and was willing to cut and weld until I got it to fit however it fit right on without any modifications!

It should fit if you leave the brace that's on top of the struts, same goes to the 2jzge .

Looks very nice on your car, That's my favorite STB!

Are you even supposed to leave the brace on? It's the one that holds the struts atop right? Anyways, yeah, if it fits then I'm getting it, then get it polished, then get spdracr's rear STB with it since I now have sway bars. Perfect.

Yup it will fit if you take off the rings but the clearance between the emblem and the stb is not very much and the soft rubber engine mounts will allow too much flex and it will make contact so I just left them on for the time being as I plan on dropping in this gte hopefully over the winter months...Hopefully

So far I have only tested it in one high speed corner going to the turnpike on ramp and although I did not expect to feel any difference I did so I turned around and re ran the corner at even higher speed and there is 100% without a doubt a big difference from the stb that was on the car when I got it to the TRD unit.

If anybody is thinking of getting one pull the trigger now as TRD prices have gone up almost 40%

That bar sure looks nice and actually does something unlike others. I had one of these on my sc but took it off since it didn't work for me. Good looking rsp you have there.
