bought my Rear Strut bar from Rod Millen last week got them 2 days ago, here are the Goods/bads about it.
The Strut bar is listed as being $199 on Rod Millen's home page, my final bill was $216.50, The Unit price was 204.00 ???? very weird because amount Taxed on the recipt was 204.00 as well.
Anyways this product is from Japane and all instructions are in Japanese, but with pictures which where very helpful. However, they are not accurate.
Knowing that I would have to cut out some of my trunk out, I decided I would not go with the mesurments that where at hand, I can always uninstall and reinstall my trunk matt and all that stuff..... so I removed everything in the trunk and took my own mesurments and as I suspected the ones on the paper where off a bit and they said to cut out more than you really needed to.
So I marked what I had to cut and used a razor blade. using a BIG allen key and a 9/16 wrench I managed to stiffen and install the rear Strut bar simply.
I should say if anyone is going with this product to mesure and cut their own trunk and not to follow the paper exactly like the picture says.
Well I like it and does go well with the RMM front Strut bar (which was a PAIN IN THE A$$ to install from the passenger side). Good luck and I hope this helps all my fellow Club Lexus Members.
