Question TRD Strut Bar on GS3

Hi, new to the board. Nice forum

Did any of you install TRD Strut Bar on a GS3?
Does the TRD strut bar on l-tunedparts.com fits on GS3?
Does the bar help?

Thanks

Ugo, RMM, TSA (aka RVM)....but the engine cover may have to be removed for 2000+ GS300 cuz the engine sits a bit higher than that of 98-99 GS300....unless you use washers to push up the bar.

Do an Advanced Search...you should alot of threads on this...with pics.

in fact, i did on the search and found some threads. But i don't have a solid idea which one is good and cost effective.

I looked at RMM one but it's about $300 and I don't know where to buy the others.

Cost-wise, the RVM will be the cheapest. The UGO (if you can still get one) is not cheap either.

I went thru many threads, and I guess I will go for UGO one.

I already PM'ed Steve and see how much. Anywhere else got the bar?
