Carson Tuned STB will fit the GS430 without modification - I have one on my GS430.

Teins are cheaper so that's a good buy. Do you have a picture of the clearance? I might get it.

Nothing against Teins but those multi piece in general seem to flex more than a 1 piece strut bar...at least my little dumb brain thinks so. if you look at mine, it's one piece hence I think it would have less flexing (and I think the middle part is aluminum).
