Default Tanabe Front strut tower bar released

I just got an email from Tanabe today the just released the Strut tower bar for the GS350 Fsport RWD and here is the link on it, I dont know if its gonna fit the non Fsport or not , and I dont think we should have any problem fiting it I know the only issue was the caps on the Fsport struts that was giving them issues on the fittment, but I will find out tomorrow and keep u guys posted on it, I am gonna try it on my car.

ok here is the latest , I talked to Tanabe and they are not sure if its gonna fit the non F-Sport model, and I dont see y not, because the difference is all I know is the caps on the struts, so in December I am going in for a fitment check , the R&D department will be in that time and we can make sure everything will clear.so I will keep u guys updated on the info , its cpl of weeks away, so just hang on.

Just put my order for both the strut tower bar and the under brace from Tanabe.
Will put new thread later with pictures and how it rides. But it looks like the shipping is gonna take some time

Mshmsh,

Where did you order the Strut Tower Bar from? I am not seeing it anywhere online in terms of ordering. Really want to place an order as well.

Thanks!

Ditto. Can you order this directly through Tanabe over the phone? I don't see any sort of online store on their site.

Sorry guys! forgot to tell you from where, I went to the dealer locator link on Tanabe website and put my state '' Arizona'' and shows nearest dealer which is Vivid racing, I called them and put the order in. I got about 12% discount too on the MSRP

if ur in so cal, email this guy undercar2@sbcglobal.net or call him 626-683-2787 and ask for Armando, he should be able to help you to get a good deal, but I am going next week to make sure the strut bar will fit the NON F-Sport models.

Sorry but it's really cheap looking... Looks like some Taiwan knockoffs... I think The F Sport engine bay looks better without it...
