On Tom’s website they sell a Strut tower bar for the GS430, I am wondering if I have to remove the engine cover? Any one knows about it?
Also, dose the Lower brace and Rear suspension brace from Tom’s makes a difference?

I think you'll have to remove the cover for TOM'S STB...no worries though, the cover doesn't do a damn thing....and you're NOT driving with your hood open so no need for a fashion show in your engine bay....
Want to "WOW" the crowd when you open your hood, get a Blitz Twin SuperCharger setup... ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
As for the lower brace and rear suspension brace...which braces are you talking about specifically...
1) Front Lower Chassis Brace (Front LCB)
2) Rear Lower Chassis Brace (Rear LCB)...two types, A & B
3) 6-piece Rear Link Kit
ALL of those make a difference...here's a current thread on the subject...

The Type B (open) is for the US Spec cars (300/400/430)...some aftermarket exhausts will allow you to use the Type A (closed).
I currently have the Type B but now that I have a APEXi WS exhaust (which removes the resonators), I purchased a Type A...
