Dude I tried to reply to your IM but your box is full, CLEAN OUT YOUR BOX!
The bar comes with some washers, take them to HOme Depot or Lowes and match them that is what I did.
Man I wish I never sold mine.

Leave it to a Supra man to help you out.
PM me if there are any additional questions, I'll be happy to answer oh yeah and it's not my article. I have a Denso piece.
TRD Front Strut Tower Brace Translated Instructions
When I received my TRD front strut tower brace, I was ecstatic. The form and finish was spectacular. But once I checked out the instruction manual, I knew I was in for quite an adventure, since it was completely in Japanese !
Luckily I work with someone who is fluent in Japanese. Thanks goes to Hirota-san for translating this installation manual. It's not a complete translation, but all the pertinent stuff is here.
NOTE: Any comments I have added are embedded [in brackets] below. Please use this as a helpful guideline - there is no guarantee to the accuracy of this translation, and you must take the full responsibility for your own installation.
Parts
Tower Bar 1 "Made with Steel"
Washer 2 0.9mm thick
Washer 4 1.6mm thick
Instructions 1 It's paper.
[Note, I also received 4 lock washers which I used in conjunction with Item #3]
Description(parts number,applications)
53607-JA810 Supra JZA80 All Turbo ONLY
Cautions when Installing
* "Please make sure the tower bar does not interfere with other parts"
* "Do not tear the parts"
* "Use ONLY with Supra Turbo"
*** PAGE TWO ***
Mounting Instructions
1. Remove the three nuts and plate from each front suspension support. The plates you remove will NOT be used. The nuts will be re-used.
2. Mount the tower bar with the "4 hole" side to the left side of the car. See the diagram. Place the correct washers between the suspension support and the tower bar. [Basically, make sure the TRD logo is on the driver's side of the car (assuming you have a standard US left-hand-drive car of course), and use the thin washers on the outboard positions on each strut. I also installed the four "extra" lock washers above the tower brace and below the nuts.]
3. Install and torque the nuts to 365 kgf x cm. [This translates to roughly 26.4 ft lbs of torque]
[Special note: My 1997 Supra had an ignitor module mounted directly on the driver's side strut tower - this would NOT re-install in it's original location once the brace was installed. I solved this by relocating the ignitor module towards the master brake cylinder side, and attached it to one of the suspension studs with the existing nut]
Cautions when Installing
* "Please make sure the tower bar does not interfere with other parts"
* "Do not tear the parts"
* "Use ONLY with Supra Turbo"
