Default ** GS 300 Strut Tower Bar ** !!!

I finally had a chance to try the Tom's Racing STB on a GS300, I'm glad to say it had a perfect fit and clearance on it. This is a one-piece unit similar to the TRD STB but has a "flattened bar" instead of the round one, finished with the Tom's Racing "red" found on their other parts.

CL price is $247.50, if you would like one PM or call me,thanks

Steve,

Do you have any potential STB that would fit GS430 without removing the engine cover?

Steve,

It's a very exciting news for GS430 owners. I'll drop by next week when I'm done with my finals. If it's clear, I'll get it! If you have those TTE SC in stock by then, I will get it too!

Okay let me check my piggy bank.

I may be asking a stupid question but does it have enough clearance even when the hood is closed? Can you pls check Steve? I am really interested but I don't want a STB that potentially hit against the hood.

I'm sure it will clear the hood when closed. I don't think Steve will sell something that will keep the hood open

If the hood isn't a problem, then ALL STBs with spacers can clear the engine.
