Default strut bars?

i've been told that strut bars from a supra will fit on an ls400. des anyone know if that goes for the rear as well, supra's a coupe, ls400's a sedan? does that make a difference?

there is no need for a rear strut tower bar because there is no tower, the two mounts are connected by the rear deck.

front strut tower bar from a 93-98 Supra Turbo (must be turbo) will clear fine.

till this day, i'm still debating is it worth it to get a strut bar. i mean, you will need to disconnect it every time just to change the plugs and wires, or whenever you need to do some engine work to it. unless somone can or willing to post some CLEAR pictures, cause i seen a lot of different picture on this forums already, and not a lot of em is really clear in resolution.

well if you buy a multi piece bar it's easier since it's just 2 bolts to remove the center bar portion....

i'll have a DIY up soon enough.

It should according to what everyone has said above. 91 doesn't have an engine cover.
