Default Strut Tower Bar/Brace Recommendation

Hi guys, looking for strut tower bar/brace recommendation for my '96 ES300. I have heard the Solara is good but it doesn't fit or I can't get it to fit. Any other recommendations? Please be specific with model numbers, brand names, year model, where to buy, etc. if you can please. Thank you.

You can try e-bay, trdusa.com or L-tunedparts.com. Not 100% sure of the prices however but a used one from e-bay is likely your cheapest way.

I got mine from Ebay... Just search for something like "Camry V6 strut bar".

I don't know, I really don't feel any difference in handling/performance...

Yeah, the cheapo bar on Ebay will work just fine without clearance issues. Atleast, my 96 had none.
