Anyone know if these braces (see attached) can be safely removed? Reworking my exhaust setup soon and deleting them will give me more design space underneath. They don't appear to be critical but you never know with suspension parts. Thanks.

They are stressed members, best not to remove.

You actually can get beefed up billet pieces from Carson tuned (or at least, you used to be able to.)

Yeah, do not remove them. If anything, build new ones that allow for the space you need while being beefed up like PD suggested

Yeah they are just like all the other non essential parts that the Lexus factory put on these cars, like the brake pedal, steering wheel, tires etc. Right?

What's your point??? The OP asked a reasonable question.

My point is that if supports were not needed then the engineers would not have put them on the car!

You mean like all the other parts that everyone tampers with or removes that the engineers felt was absolutely necessary lol.
