Yea the other thing that disturbs me is that they didnt see this when they designed it. Also the product was advertised early on, but now that we have seen some areas of concern, we havent heard much from whomever manufactured it. I find this to be a bit disturbing.

The Tein product looks more and more interesting.

a little too late for me, i was waiting on the Tein, but they took too long. yeah, i didn't like the idea of taking the rubber off but i needed the stb really bad, it did prevent my edfc from rotating.

I could not stand the ugly blue color that was on the strut braces. That was not powercoating. I took them to the plating shop and had them chromed. Picked them up today. I'll post pics after the install.

They look great. Had them both done for $110. So I have paid $320 total for a strut tower bar that fits a GS430 properly.

the paint chipped off pretty easy, i'll just have to leave the hood close for now, couldn't justify the extra $$$ to change the color or chrome it.

I think un-installed pics will do just fine for now.
