What type of Strut bar Supra Strut Bars. Some Generic ones with holes in the middle.
Any issues you may have. The fit w/o my emblem on the engine. I also a big black washer which appears to be stock on both sides. Helps give clearance.

Any issues you may have: I had to remove a small black piece of metal from the center of the engine so the bar would not rub.
Price is optional : 150 from ebay

Another pic of the damage a STB that does'nt fit even with washers can do. If someone tells you that you can make it fit with washers...show them this pic.

cusco would fit sc400 without a problem except romving the emblem and it cost about $200? If that's the case I would get one too, do they install it for you as well? How much is everything together?

The Supra STB doesn't not fit the SC300 or SC400. I tried it on both cars. It would not clear the engine block even with the Lexus badge removed. Still needs about 4mm clearance just to get the screws to thread in.

I bought a strut bar from Pro-1 in Dallas. It was only like 120$ (dealer price) and its just one for a supra. I took it to Midas and they put it on for me. It was only like 20$ install. here's a picture
