Strut Bar

[SteveL]

Hi,

I'm looking to hopefullypurchase a front strut bar for my IS200 (engine totally unmodified, 2000 X-reg) quite soon

I've had a good look around previous posts on the subject and it would appear that Cusco seem to be the best make , and Takakaira seem to be best price wise.

Takakaira's strut bars (i hope that link worked!)

I need a bit of advise from those experienced chappies on here on the following:

1. Ordering from Takakaira they obviously all relate to Altezza's. Will these fit direct onto a standard IS200 or will it need a bit of jiggery pokery?

2. Which is best one to go for. In the Cusco section there seems to be a large range (Alu-Carbon OS, Type OS, AS), all of which seem to fit the Altezza. Any particular one stand out against the others?

3. Any reviews on takakaira as a company generally - good, bad, indifferent?

Thanks guys :D

Steve

1)As far as i know the Altezza ones will fit.

2)Depends on your budget i suppose.

3)Only ever heard good things about them.

JIC is offering a strut bar that is suitable for the GXE10 / IS200.

They come in normal aluminium and in carbon fiber.

dunno what the exact price is, but similar to the Cusco i guess. I will try to get a price by early next week.

If you could get me a price it would be much appreciated.

Always best to have as many options as possible!
