Default Carbing strut brace

Just wanted to know what members with any knowledge of Carbing, believe that they will finally release their strut tower brace with master cyl. stopper?

I thought the master cyl. was a prob. and if so I would have to wait for the correct fit.

I have the bar, it fits perfect, the stopper lines up perfectly. I have the supra one, I don't know why they would make another one when this one fits perfectly.

Wheels 2, google the teniusa.com website, it will give you a detailed description and application sheet. I was just there and noticed the Supra strut tower brace is $300.00, if they would produce it Id come up with the money.

Just read slickscs post, you would think Carbing would give that info. and sell more bars. Slicksc, just wanted to verify your car has ABS, and Trac. control. If not you could have a diff. master cyl.

It lines up, not 100% perfect but it does line up. It sits a few millimeters high but its not even worth complaining about.

The brake feel is night and day with the bar.
