RMM Sales told me the RMM Front Upper Strut Bar only fits 98-00 GS300. It will NOT fit 01+ GS300.
Was there a design change in the engine compartment that Im not aware of between 98, 99, 00 model VS. 01, 02, 03 model GS300?

It will fit an 2nd gen gs300's. There is no change. It looks like bluelex posted pics from the ugo and rmm but from the pics it looks like the ugo has 2 spacers and his rmm at least 1 to fit.

I guess RMM Sales Staff are totally CLUELESS!! My RMM strut bar is in transit. Sounds like I have nothing to worry about.
Thanks!

The UGO pic is from my car...no spacers were used. Just remove the plastic cap covering the strut tower bolts...there is already a rubber washer from the factory (01+?) used...just install the STB with the factory washer.
If the rubber washer is not provided, I would suggest purchasing a pair from Lexus.

Got them on tonight. It was rubbing the engine cover so I removed the cover and installed the bar anyways cuz I wanted to see if I could tell the difference when making hard turns, etc..... Feels great. Car feels solid...no flexing like b4.

Yep...they are on. Now im looking if I can get 1 more set of OEM spacers. Maybe that will help with the clearance.
