If you are wondering if the Tom’s front strut brace fits the standard 350 GS, it does. Perfect fitment. Tom’s doesn’t include this fitment in their website.
A bit overpriced compared to the Tanabe’s, but its your money. Quick review is that it holds the front together during turns and corner well, slightly tightens up steering feel (feels a notch or two from Normal but still less heavy than Sport mode). I also have the rear strut brace and makes the car feel tight and small during corners and turns.

Can you post a picture of the rear brace in the trunk? Does it rob a good portion of the trunk space?
How much of a PITA is it to now remove the engine cover, you know if we ever had to?
You have to remove it whenever you change the spark plugs. I'd pass on a strut brace, it will deteriorate the ride quality, body flex helps absorb the road imperfections, you make that stiffer and it starts going to your butt and put more wear on suspension components.

Good advice from a man that [obviously] knows what he's talking about!
