GS430 Front Lower Brace
Any ideas where to get the front suspension lower brace for cheap? Wholesale TRD perhaps? Mine broke after being rusted, so it makes an annoying rattling noise every time there is a bump in the road Tom's at L-Tuned for $414 seems a bit much.

Glad I am not the only one. Did you notice a dramatic improvement in handling once it was replaced? That is what I am assuming will happen aside from getting rid of that annoying clank sound.

tbh you shouldn't notice much as the brace is completely hollow and flexes very easily when under load and one side of the car hits a uneven surface.... if you want a drastic improvement in handling, you will need to look towards something like a TRD that is completely solid...

I kinda wish I got an aftermarket one, but money is going into other parts/repairs.

Yup OEM. My GS came from Illinois so the brace didn't stand a chance I guess.
