On Tom’s website they sell a Strut tower bar for the GS430, I am wondering if I have to remove the engine cover? Any one knows about it?
Also, dose the Lower brace and Rear suspension brace from Tom’s makes a difference?

I think you'll have to remove the cover for TOM'S STB...no worries though, the cover doesn't do a damn thing....and you're NOT driving with your hood open so no need for a fashion show in your engine bay.... Want to "WOW" the crowd when you open your hood, get a Blitz Twin SuperCharger setup...

As for the lower brace and rear suspension brace...which braces are you talking about specifically...

1) Front Lower Chassis Brace (Front LCB)
2) Rear Lower Chassis Brace (Rear LCB)...two types, A & B
3) 6-piece Rear Link Kit

ALL of those make a difference...here's a current thread on the subject...

What is the difference between the Tom's Rear Lower Brace A & B???

RacingAristo

one is closed and the other one is open (3 sides, like U, the top is open).

The Type B (open) is for the US Spec cars (300/400/430)...some aftermarket exhausts will allow you to use the Type A (closed).

I currently have the Type B but now that I have a APEXi WS exhaust (which removes the resonators), I purchased a Type A...
