Thanks, I just ordered one and now I have an idea of how to make it look nice, like yours!

I just got my Megan bar. I held placed the bar across the engine and noticed the holes don't match up! Is it because my 08 3GS is AWD?? Or am I doing sumtn wrong? Cause presume the bolt placements are fixed.

I just got mine too. I haven't installed it yet because I don't have a socket set :/ I moved out of my parents place so I don't have tools.

Megan usually is pretty good with labeling AWD or RWD for the GS350

I thought the only difference was the front diff so the front sway bar is different due to us having extra stuff there for AWD. The tower strut should be the same.

Alright so. I got mine out in yesterday. I did give Megan Racing a call the day just to be sure. Talked to a great dude name Nelson. He let me know that in fact the 3gs is a tricky one and the only problem is the bracket placement is sometimes shipped backwards it flipped so to say. So you would literally Just switch the bracket sides and make sure the bar is leaning toward the cabin. And yes I have a few pics. Small improvement on drive feel on quick direction changes. Basically less roll or bounce back. More sturdy. Love it so far plus it looks good with the intake.

Default Megan Strut Bar 3GS

Also recommend putting in Brackets 1st because fitment is tight and snug and you have to angle it around a few things

Thanks for the update and pictures! It looks awesome!

Do you know what size the strut nuts are so I can just buy the 1 socket for now until a socket set goes on sale?

I went from a very sturdy 05 Acura TL to a very soft GS350. Anything to help it not feel as mushy will help!

Definitely a 14mm. Also to feel less mushy u gotta get coilovers. If you're talking suspension
