Is there a REAR strut tower brace for the GS400 or only a Chassis brace??? I bought the TRD FRONT Strut Bar but i'm wondering if there is a rear one available...

Thumbs up Ugo Katayama Rear STB

Hi Chris,

I have a rear STB available from the Ugo line. It is carbon-fiber made in Japan. They have a small line of GS parts such as the rear roof spoiler, side visor, eyeline garnish and Front and rear stb.

The roof spoiler, side visors and STB's are available in carbon fiber. I have some on order and they will arrive towards the end of April.

Rear STB carbon-fiber-$252.00

If you want one email me and I'll save one for you.

Don't get it - I looked at Products and it shows just pictures of hotted up cars. No products, no listings, nothing.

Lame web site.

Hey Mariusz.. Can I get a price quote for the rear STB for the GS400? Also where exactly does a rear STB bolt into place? Isn't there already a rigid wall behind the rear seats (that's why our cars don't have pass throughs or fold down rear seats)... Do you have a rear STB and if you do does it help at all?

cjgs4, i will get that for you tomorrow. Email me privately. I believe there are two different types available. The rear STB goes on top of the rear shocks. When you look into your trunk, you will have to cut two wholes in the "plastic" (or whatever they are made out of) walls. Shouldn't be a big deal. I will be ordering mine soon.

Toms Racing has a complete Advox sport coil-over suspension kit for the GS. These are nitrogen filled and self adjust to the condition of driving.

I talked with Thomas and they do not have component pricing yet to order pieces, The AdvoxAristo set-up lists at $4400.00

This kit contains front & rear STB, front and rear chassis brace, six stiffening arms and advox coil-overs.

Go to www.tomsracing.co.jp

Sasha, not sure about how you would deal with your box. I've never seen your box before except on pictures and it's hard to judge from that.....
