Strut Tower Bars increase the stiffness of the chassis and improves the car's handling properties. Any front strut tower bar made for the Supra with a flattened cross bar (non-tubular) will physically fit the Lexus SC300/400s with safe engine clearance and safe hood clearance. In order for the strut tower bar to clear the top of the motor's intake manifold, you must purchase and install four additional strut brace reinforcements (OEM spacers) (part no: 53723-24010). Another condition necessary for safety is to replace the strut-springs with suspension components that offer longer strut studs (such as the JIC SF-1 coilover). This requirement is due to the added space the strut brace reinforcements create and the need to fully thread the strut brace nuts. It is highly recommended that you do not attempt to install strut tower bars without using lengthened screw studs. With that said, Cusco and JIC both make polished and carbon fiber front strut tower bars for the SC300/400.

the STB that fits sc400 has to be flat not rounded, i think it might fit. I had the round type and it didn't fit and i bought a Cusco flat bar and that one fits w/o spacers. and the JIC is also flat and it fits w/o spacers.
hopefully that helps.
p.s. when you put the STB on the little L on your engine is going to get broken off.

i got this greddy strut bar long time ago, and still sitting around, and it didnt fit.
it was made for 94-up TT supra. it's a little different and the bar itself is tube-like, not flat....
i got it for 85.00 brand new from sp engineering a while back. test fitted it, hole were almost aligned
but the bar itself is touching the intake.....

Does anyone know if the 1998-up VVT-i 1UZ-FE sits lower than a 1992-1997? I think the 1UZ-FE may actually be lower than a 2JZ-GE/GTE but possibly a little wider. I have searched and could not find too much on the 1998-up SC400 as far as Front STB's. I am getting new Daizen control arm bushings and sway bar bushings so I figure I would either get a Cusco or JIC STB. Any input on this?
Thanks,

I only had to remove a small guard/bracket thingo. Otherwise it fits fine.
