Good find....anyone read Japanese?

You might want to send ask Mr. Gantz and see if he knows anything about this and if it is readly available.

here is the translation

Standard is installed the rear wheel steering system " ARS " which (the active ria tear) cancels to the aristo V300 grade the " ARS canceler " new appearance! The necessary item of the aristo turbo which cancels the strange feeling while the feeling giddy and cornering at the high speed with " the ARS ", improvement and linear of substantial straight advancing stability actualizes cornering.


so i assume it suppose to help the high speed cornering and stability, and look at where it goes at the picture.....

the thing is, we don't know if the ARS is in our GSs. We got the VSC canceller, which the japanese people needs to get from a 3rd party company. So I don't know if this ARS Canceller is already standard (most likely not).

and more importantly, if we have the vsc canceller already, and say the ars canceller isn't already in teh car (which i also don't think it is), can we still add it in?

Yea, I think it goes in the rear according to the picture. Isn't that the rear suspension?

It is an additional brace for the Aristo Turbo models in Japan. Seems that there is something called the ACTIVE REAR STEER (ARS) on these models and this item helps to cancel the effect and aid in better cornering....
