SC510

Just need a little insight in picking one of these 3: trd supra strut, gtspec, or cusco alc os. I know people say spacers are needed for the trd one. Is this bad in terms of ths bars performance? And are the cusco or gtspec the same with peformance? Any clearance issues

U know what a strut/shock tower bar does for your car?

I'd go with Carbing because its got a master cylinder stopper, which is the most useful feature in my opinion

Carbing is kinda rare now. What year is your sc? Typically its just the engine cover that gets in the way on later models

Brand wise it shouldn't matter much. As long as the bar is solid and made of good material you'll be fine. It's only job is to help distribute chassis flex between the struts when you're going into a corner. As long as it's not flexing it'll do the job fine.

So i ended picking up a trd strut bar from mvp. My SC is a 99 so I'm gonna have clearance issues. I'm jusy gonna order some spacers instead of going the washer route. Seems safer imo. However I have one more question. I saw on another forum that a guy used the supra spacers instead of the SC one. I would think there wouldn't be a difference in the two right? The price difference is dramatic between the two, so i wanna order the supra ones. If needed the SC part# 53723-24010 and the supra is 53723-24012

was gonna say the trd will flex less, probably best choice

I have a Carbing front, cant beat it, and a rear that was made by a C.L. member.

I have the carbing installed. No extra spacers but I bent it slightly to clear everything. I also removed factory hood liner as it was rubbing on bar.

i have a 93 and would also like to know what is a good bar to buy both front and back.

btw ssmith that is one very pretty compartment, i am assuming you have the intake running to a turbo?

i have a 93 and just installed a trd strut bar on mine, im having spacers made as thick as the strut nuts for it to clear the intake. if u need some let me know i can have them made cheap

i just might looking to get it for my birthday next month, present to myself.

thats not a stock intake though? since you put one in which did you use and how good is it really intake i mean?

also any reason why you have the cover off the engine?

i also noticed you dont have that huge metal pipes over the engine, not sure what it is probably part of the original intake

2JTsc300

that is the factory intake, just painted black. i have off my covers because we r in the process of finishing my NA-T build, im doing a coil on plug conversion tomorrow so it can look cleaner and handle more boost, u can see it in my build trend in my signature. but if you need those spacers for the bar let me know and ill get you a price.

they all function the same shouldnt really matter performance wise
