Hey Rominl,
I dont think they have stock ones. I am looking for the bar that goes across the trunk of the car.

You are talking about the Strut tower bar. There are no stock ones. Carson does have aftermarket ones though.

There is the Tom's Racing:

There used to be the UGO too but that has been discontinued.

Here is what I bought. I figured a strut bar is a strut bar. I did not want to spend $200 on something that I never see and provides minimal advantage to the stiffness of the car. It is made out of steel and is actually a very quality built product. Anyway, here is another alternative.

Hey TexasGS,
Thanks for the link. I remember seeing this on ebay and wanted to purchase it but lost the bid. I've been looking for this seller ever since. I am checking to see if this will fit a gs430.

I have a GS430 and I asked him that question so you should be good to go. I think a lot of those $200+ bars cost that because of the name? I don't know but I was plesantly suprised at the quality of this one. It has a bit of a gold tint to it but like I said before, it sits in the trunk and how many people really look in there anyway.

Great minds think alike. I also feel that $200+ is all for the name. There are not many ways you can improve a straight bar. Thanks
