JDM Aristo Strut Tower Bar
I just picked up a JDM Aristo Strut Tower Bar today and was wondering if anyone has any experience with one? They seem a lot more rare than the Tein, TRD, or RMM bars so I figured I would ask for some input from you guys.
I wetsanded it and repainted it tonight...hope to install it tomorrow.
I'll keep you guys posted but would love to hear from anyone who has one. I hear that Coco-bun has one as well....

To tell you the truth, while the bar might increase stiffness by 3-5% at most, its not really noticable. In order for you to feel a big difference, the bar must be triangulated like the ARC bars in order to use the center firewall for bracing. The way it is attached on right now, it is flexing in the middle under hard cornering.

I'm in the process of painting and what not now. sanded, primered, and painted the two side mounts but I want to wetsand like you and go for another coat. post pics!
I specifically wanted the JZS147 bar b/c it's 1) OEM (well, for the 14 GS but whatever), 2) aluminum (i think?) 3) one piece and not a multi piece like TEIN 4) not as expensive as TRD.
I tried it on by just bolting it on...I know, I'm supposed to jack the car up to install it properly but just wanted to see if it fit. It fits, clears GS400 engine cover, and steering feels firmer (I took it off again for painting and it's noticeable) and I THINK (placebo?) the suspension is moving better.
