TRD is the way to go, not that heavy ether, very very sturdy, and when and if you order it make sure you order for a Supra MKIII, it fits directly to your front strut towers

he is a distributor for TEIN and last he checked for me they did in fact have 1 or 2 in stock even though it does not reflect it on their site.

Short hearsay answer, Ive heard people say the SCs will not greatly benefit from a strut tower brace because they are already stiff. But there is also a look and the feeling that it might help. Also the Carbing S.T.B. also has a master cyl. brace,as well.

Incorrect.. Only Supra MKIV NA strut tower bars will fit the sc300. The TT MKIV bars will not, because the GE engine's intake manifold cross' over the top of the valve cover.

You're 100% wrong. Na Supra.., maybe. Also, try the Supra TT Tanabe tower bar, and no way on earth would you be able to put that on. If you're 1jz, or 2jzgte, then you'll have plenty of options. It's that ugly freaken intake manifold crossing over the valve cover of the NA, which makes it very limited on the tower bars you wish to use.

+1, carbing is GREAT! not heavy like TRD and will fit EDFC or anything easily, i just took the TPS sensor housing off completely, it does no harm.
I wonder if the gas tank was taken out, would the Supra rear bars bolt in? Anyone ever tried this? (Yes, I've seen a few SC/Soarer bars that wrap over the top, but I am thinking about going with a fuel-cell, so it would be nice to have more options...)
