I found the FTSB for the ES300, but the site claims it is for the 92-95. mine is 96. will it fit? It is Ractive brand.

please let me know

Default i found it @

autotoys.com

if 92-93 is one engine cover, 94-96 another engine cover, the autotoys.com says it is 92-95, so the year model is overlapping here. i dunno man.

btw, in the gallary section, there is one ES300 showing the picture of the Ractive Strut Bar.

anyone knows of him?

we need info from him.

Chrislee8,

I don't think engine cover will be in the way of strut bar, but the air intake might block it since it's a lot higher than the engine itself. It is like that on my 96 ES.

Angry

there's a dealer on ebay. I actually put a bid in but he's not even sure if it will fit. The bar is supposed to fit 92-00 camrys which I would think fit an ES... But he says the only ES one he carries fits a 92-94 which is what I think was mentioned earlier. Me so angry.

Default It should fit

doesn't mean It fits.

guys, before you order or bid on it, make sure you don't care to waste the money or make sure it is returnable.

or you will be crying.

Default I found out -->

that they all don't fit the 96 ES. They only fit what year they claim it fits.

Bad!, I can't have a front tower strut bar?

Talking tee heee

"Ramsey have i got some good news for you. I spoke with the tech guys at Ractive and they tell me that the Camry bar is a direct bolt on with the Lexus. The struts have the same bolt pattern and are the same distance apart." Regarding the Camry V6 bar

That was a quote from Jay at www.canadianautoextras.com
55.00 for the bar + 15.00 shipping

Talking should I bid on it for $54?

ramsee1,

I saw ur the high bid one for now with 10 min left on the auction.

what if it doesn't fit or need mod, can you return it?
they don't show the strut bar on their website, it is only on auction.

nah, I won't mess you up, hope you get it and tell us how it goes.

thanks for the info tho.
