Hi,


Anyone knows if the second gen IS megan Front Upper Strut Tower fits my 2016 IS300 AWD? I know they fit the 2016 IS350 but i am not sure if people are referring to the RWD IS350 or AWD IS350. I really wanted the cusco one but i don't they fit my 2016 IS300 AWD. If anyone has one on their 2016 IS AWD, please let me know which one you got. Thanks.


Cheers,

Michael

 

I tried it before on my 2016 IS200t rwd, and it didn't fit.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

The 3IS, front tower to front tower, will be the same for all years.
Exception will be the 350 with the AVS motors...which can still be refit with the Tom's strut bar.
In terms of the 300 (3.5L V6) and 350 (3.5L V6), it's the same motor...so if it fits one, it should fit the other.
The 2016 200t would be the turbo motor, so possibly the motor has a different height than the V6...thus the bar may not fit.

 

What was the issue with the fitment? With the Megan strut bar for the 3IS, I had to reverse the mounting bracket. You just have to take them off the bar and turn them around for fitment of the 3IS. I have a 2014 IS250 rwd.

 

Does it fit with OEM hood? Any notice increased handling or is this just cosmetic?

 

It should fit with the original hood.

From what I have heard, the difference is mostly down to the responsiveness/precision of the steering and the perception of body rigidity in the front.
