I bought this strut bar from sparktec motors and am nothing but happy with it. It arrived very quickly in genuine Japanese/original packaging. The bar is super high quality and in my opinion is worth its price over no name brand, or lesser brand bars. It installs relatively easy with the DRL box needing to be relocated forward by the head lights. I highly recommend this product.
This is the first time I ever buy a strut bar for any of my cars. Big difference!! If you’re into automotive handling this is a great buy. It makes a work of difference when cornering but the biggest part that I really love is that it keeps my front end from tweeting on inclines, slopes of all sorts. What I means is it got rid of ally of the front end flex or distortion when going up drive ways. It just makes the car that more ridgid. I look forward to purchasing more Cusco parts for my car in the near future.
Unlike a lot of new strut braces for the IS300/IS200, this one fits perfectly and doesn't hit the hood. Made a big difference stiffening up the front end on my IS300 Sportcross and looks good to boot.
Perfect fit for my 2001 is300. Remember for the US cars you have to move the fuse box to the side after undoing the 3 bolts that hold it place. Everything fit perfectly!
