Hello CL members,

Today I am happy to be able to offer you these TunedParts solid billet aluminum, black powder coated rear member reinforcement braces.

These are completely powder coated to help protect against the elements like road grime an salt. Over time they can cause pits in unprotected billet.

These will help eliminate wheel hop, and increase the overall performance feel of your Lexus.



UPDATE BARS WILL NOW BE AVAILABLE FOR SC430, 3RD GEN GS AND IS, as well as 98-05 GS

These bars fit the following model years

GS300/400/430 98-05
SC430 01-05
IS250/350 06-07
GS300/350 06-07
IS300 05/2000- 2005
GS300 08/1995-07/1997
LS400 10/1994-08/2000


We will be offering all these on GB at $99.00 shipped (LOWER 48 STATES)

Please use GB code GBBARS

Order HERE

Here are some pics of the bars,

What is wheel hop? And what are the other improvements this will add? Is this only for hardcore turning/drifting? Are they suggested with coilovers?

Until Carson familiar with these bars I will explain some uses.

1. Anyone can use these bars, it will only help your performance on the road.
2. The bars replace the thin stock stamped bars with a solid billet bar.
3. These will help you keep planted on the ground going in and out of corners or spirited driving.
4. These are sub frame braces or Ridgid braces as we call them, they increase the stiffness between the subframe.

As others have quoted, for a 100$ it's a good bang for the buck, An even better deal now at 100 vs $130 retail plus shipping.

I hope you enjoy, and I have not forgotten about the NEXT GEN OWNERS IS AND GS! Projected mid May on your bars.
