Tom's makes one for the front. I'm not sure for the rear.

I also got a quote for 500 on the Tom's front. Have not seen any other alternatives. Heard that the front tower alone gives a significant improvement in handling, does anyone have this piece and can confirm?
If it's listed at 38.000 yen ($412.83) in Japan, that's not a bad deal from VIP.

ups - my mistake - just swap the numbers:
53680-TUE20 : FRONT
53650-TGS80 : REAR
as for the picture - never looked behind the carpets - so this could possible be another lexus car. the rear brace model for IS-F (USE20) should look very similar.
i am going to order these braces very soon from japan - i will keep u informed. Personaly i don't think that the rear strut brace will significantly improve handling.
Maybe interessting for some here is the FRONT & MID PIPE exhaust section from ZEES.
A gain of nearly 30 DIN PS aren't bad numbers. Combine this with a open Intake and you should see maybe 40+ horses...

Is there interest in a product like this, I can put this in the queue. I have a similar product templated out, but demand is hard to gauge. My thoughts are a preloadable brace...to actually put "pull" on the tower.
I know I hear the chassis flex when I pull in and out of my driveway...not sure if stiffer is better or not.
