Default New Custom FSB for my 98SC430

As some of you on here know. I made a RSB for SC & a few of the members here have one. Well I got tired of the "no name" brand I had on the front that fit my EDFC & decided to make my own. I really liked the Carbing bar, but didn't like the price. So I looked at a pic of it & used some of my dimensions from the rear one I made to come up with one like the Carbing bar. I still want to add the master cylinder brace to it, or to the next one I make. The next one will have the Lexus logo laser cut in the face that the bar welds to... Enjoy the pics...

Looks good spdrcr! I have the Carbing one and in all honesty you dont notice it much by itself; you noticed the master cylinder stopper more than any cornering stability the bar claims to add. But when complimented with sway bars the car feels like a go-kart, especially on the highway! lol.

Good to see that you're still poking around the forums though, I always enjoy your knowledge!

SC is doing awesome, installed a few small cosmetic upgrades (RX wheel, HID's) and am currently looking into wheels. Hoping to throw in an R154 this summer! (money permitting lol).
