Dear Matt :



Thanks for inquiry.



We don’t officially set up the front strut bar for ISF,

but our IS350 front strut bar will fit on ISF with some spacer between mounting bracket and strut tower.

The spacer will need to make clearance between strut bar and motor cover.

The front strut bar is 983 540 A, $200 MSRP.



The rear strut bar is 198 541 A, $200 MSRP.

Please note that the rear strut bar make the lid which is on the rear seat won’t open fully.






If you have any question, please feel free to contact me.



Thanks

Yuki

So did you use spacers or not bud? I only ordered mine after asking you about rubbing and you said no rubbing in your build thread.

Lol I figured Kody would have used a Ginsu knife ;-)

To take the engine cover off now do you have to take the bar off or will the cover pop out then slide underneath the bar?

Here's the only one I know of, but why would you want to spend that much extra when there is a couple of proven products out for the rear at a fraction of the cost, and I can't imagine the front sway bar in this kit would make much of a difference from what people have said on here....

Some people will spend that money b/c it's JDM. And JDM is rare, b/c of the price. Strut bars are mainly for show. You raise the hood of any serious car, you should see some form or fashion, a strut bar.
