I think the advantage to the Carbing is that it is 1piece construction, and has a master cyl. reinforcement bracket as well. Problem is they have it for a Supra but I beleive the master cyl. is different.

it should still bolt up to the SC and use the master cylinder stopper. under the hood the SC and mk4 supra are almost identical.

I found one for a Supra at optionimports.com. for $270.00. As soon as business picks up, Im going to order one. Anyone with feed back on this part, let us know.

the supra carbing strut tower bar fits the sc cars if you shave down the IAC valve bracket near the throttle body...

Thanks for the info. dejacky, are you talking about the IAC bracket on the 300 or 400?

Ive actaully had it on my car for over a yr now. You are talking about the one piece bar correct? I can post a picture if you want.

Dejacky is correct. You do have to shave down the bracket near the valve cover. In terms of it ligning up I will have to double check on that.

Also the nice thing about the carbing is that it requires no extended strut threads.

I used to have TEIN USA website bookmarked, but then it wouldnt connect me. I thought maybe the sight had closed down. As I kept looking on my google search it was about the 8th website down, they have an application list and our car is still in dev. Has been since I bought my SC 2 years ago.
