TRD is harder to find...I think they're discontinued?

There are other bars, Cusco, JIC, etc. that are more readily available.

Is it safe to say that the Supra trd STB would fit with little or no mod's ?

Last i checked, all supra bars will fit on the SC. I think the only issues i've heard about are on the 400's where the bar (pending on brand) touches the emblem on the top of the intake manifold.

Personally I like and own the JIC Carbon Fiber STB. I had no problems at all putting it in. I'll be able to post pics as soon as I start my 1JZ w/ r-154 swap.

Try going to www.L-Tunedparts.com

They even carry the TRD STB

The TRD supra bar will not fit over the 1UZFE motor without spacer adapters and removal of emblem...It will also fit 2JZ series with slight modifications...

Cusco, Greddy, and JIC Magic will all fit both models because of its flat design..

I used to have an aluminum jic magic strut bar for a supra tt and it did not clear this bracket on my stock 2jzge. It installed fine, but the bar was hitting that bracket so I took it off.

Paid $ 179 + shipping.
Had to mod fitting the EDFC.
Should be a direct fit.
