I guess, but it looks just a tad bit too flimsy @ the base where it meets the strut bolts...

Also, if ur going to be Sc'd soon, u might wanna check if that would clear the sc...cause the stock strut bar doesnt....and from the looks of it, this one doesnt look like it would either but pictures can be decieving....are u gonna try it out?

from looking through their site, they also carry a 4pt rear lower arm bar as well...


wow...I'm going to send them an email and ask about prices. they have a dealer in PA. our cars with their soft chassis can really use chassis rigidity supports like this

While we're on the topic, has anyone ever tried JIC's strutbar for the solara? Judging from the look of it, I doubt that one would clear the s/c as well.

Akora, AFAIK, the JIC bar clears the S/C. Their test-fit car was S/C'ed, and I recall askin RJ (RJ@UPFD) & Yukio (CamryPunk) to confirm, and it was positive.

I sent an e-mail to one of the american dealers in PA

if they don't get back to me in a little while, I'll give them a call and see what they can do. on the site, the used ones were going for 80bucks. so new, they probably wouldn't be much more. but I don't know about shipping to NA though...that might drive the price up.

got the price- the shop in Harrisburg PA carries them for $149 + S&H

S&H to CT was $40.


so, very affordable for sure! I'm seriously considering it, with my only worries being the tendency for our cars to understeer as it is since it's front-heavy

when I had my solara on the track, I had a really hard time breaking the rear loose (granted it doesn't have a rsb) and the thing was understeering left and right- also doesn't help that the solara was auto though, so my only option was flooring the car instead of being able to ease out of a turn

my camry handles a lot better, and pretty flat when I throw it around on the streets, so I'm not sure if this will throw things off as well....


so hmmm....idle idle musings....chances are that I will try it anyway just to tighten things up on our chassis anyway haha
