Upper strut brace Feel a diff?RMM or TRD
I have a stock 2001 GS430. I am thinking about getting a RMM fiber cover(Thanks alot TLW
)& either a TRD or RMM strut brace.
Can you feel a diff in handling with the strut brace or is it more for show? Do they bolt up as easy as you would think?
Thanks

I'm waiting to hear back from them(RMM). They already told me(VIA Email)that the strut bar wont fit. I sent them another email asking if it fit if you installed carbon fiber eng cvr too.

yeah just to clear confusions. the rmm engine cover doesn't not fit the 430 at all, not even close. the rmm bar it does not clear the 430 engine cover. can add spacers but would need quite a few, and you will have to start worry about the hood
handing wise, it tighten up the steering with my trd

I just want confirmation that the RMM front strub bar will fit a GS430 with the engine cover off. Does anyone have pics? I got email from RMM saying the bar will fit only on GS300 and 400 only. Just want to verify. Thanks.
