Absolutely no modding done to make it fit..Direct bolt on.. I brought this strut bar from tmf2004. If u look at the picture carefully u would need the black plate underneath the green clamp on the strut to have extra clearance to fit over the cover. Some GS come with it & some don't.

Do u remember seeing the black plate that's on top of the strut on the gs300?

That's the one I picked up, the Carson tuned bar.

I guess tmf2004 got lucky b/c the Tein was a straight bolt on for him & now for me...

Bringing this back fro the dead...!

I tried a C-One bar and it does not fit the 430 at all. I'm guessing this was made specifically for the JDM Aristo?



There is practically zero clearance here.
