Alrighty then! I'll stop by the toy dealer and ask for a 99-01 solara stock strut tower bar. Hopefully it's in-stock (cuz I'm getting it) and I'll post a part number. The number should be on the package or very least on receipt.

MCV20: Does the bar rub the intake collector? As pictured at the top of this thread, the bar looks like it almost touches it.

no it wont touch any engine parts at all, but remember keep your silver spacer(on top of the tower) while you install the strut bar.

Mahalo! I didn't make it to the dealer to check on the bar yet. I hope to go this week.

Can anyone identify the strut brace pictured and give me info on how/where to purchase. Toyotaparts4u.com is telling me that the 3piece TRD brace (aftermarket ) is the only brace available and that an OEM single piece brace (as pictured) doesn't exist. I have emailed the picture to them to see what they think. Any help here is appreciated. TIA. Dan
