With a front facing intake manifold, yeah. With the stock over-the-top manifold you need spacers.

I've got a GReddy strut tower brace on my car with spacers I got from Aliga. The only thing I'd wonder about would be if the spacers (even though they're extremely thin) would throw off the alignment to the master cylinder.

Thumbs up

According to DZLEXIK, the Carbing strut tower bar for the mkiv Supra TT cars fits perfectly with washers. You can remove or shave off some of that throttle body bracket to make it clear it perfectly with no extra washers:

I think it will fit fine as long as your intercooler piping (with stock 2jz-ge intake manifold) clears or can be made to fit between the turbo compressor housing and this Carbing strut tower brace itself.
