Hey guys I have a fully loaded F sport equipped IS350. The only thing i do not have from them is the carbon fiber engine bay cover -.- ...

My questions is, is it possible to add in a strut bar without having any engine covers removed in the end, and would it be possible to have it installed since I already have all F sport equipped parts in it?

Lastly if there is a strutbar for the IS350, which company would be in high rated quality and not too pricy?

 

Since the car doesn't -have- struts it'd be entirely cosmetic, so quality isn't much of an issue. Get whatever looks good to you.

 

Kinda OT, do you even have the F-Sport brakes?

 

Hi. Yes I have the F-Sport brakes, sway bar kit, underchassis brace, shocks, lowering springs.

 

^ afaik only the LMS front tower brace clears the engine cover, and LMS doesn't make front tower braces anymore...

 

Damn! Post pics of your setup.

 

hmm i see. Thanks for the info. It looks like its going to be hard to find a strut w/o taking anything apart.

As of pictures... I am not sure where it would be appropriate to post them. I dont want to make it off topic. I respect threads a lot since people search them all the time. I am fairly new here, and I think it might be appropriate to post on my garage pics. I'll post soon

 

Hey guys I am having a very difficult time trying to find the right strut bar which will go on top of the engine bay cover, leaving me nothing to take off (covers, etc).

I found this strutbar (the only one i could find instead of the cheap knock off ebay ones) Jun-Tw strutbar

Some feedback would be nice.



AGAIN i have allllllllll F-Sport items you could think of that exists in my car. (except for carbon fiber engine bay cover). Would this strut bar be an enhancement to my awesome control and stability? Even if it is a little difference, that would make me buy it. I need your thoughts guys =)

 

It will reduce handling since it'll be adding dead weight with no functional enhancement whatsoever.

If you want to spend a bunch of money to get slightly better handling then put on smaller, lighter, wheels.

Or take off those progressive F-sport springs and put some linear springs on the car.

 

eh gtspec makes one also. illmike is selling a full array of stuff.
