Haven't had the chance to take it for a decent blat yet, but initial impressions are good. Steering seems more direct and the car definately turns in better >smile.gif>

Do either of you know whether this piece fits the ST202-204? I have considered this but have not been able to confirm that fitment is the same.

I ordered my Front/Rear Strut Bars and Lower Frame brace from Cusco, so we'll see soon enough if it fits, or if Ill have one for sale.

I'd sat that if the ST202/4 has Superstrut, then it is going to fit. I wouldn't be so sure if it is the macpherson type though.

Fitting isn't as straighforward as you would think. 3 out of 4 bolts are easypeasy - especially with air tools to hand >wink.gif> Bolt number 4, by the sump is an issue. Needed to undo the cambelt end engine mount so the motor could be 'lifted' up that end to allow clearance for the suspension bolt to be removed and the replacement one to be inserted >mad.gif> Otherwise it would have been a 5 minute job >rolleyes.gif> It may be different for the ST202/4 - depends on the sump layout on teh motors as I think the Gen III 3S-GTE is different to the n/a ones.

hmmm....I think you are right. I didn't notice that the mounting points are the exact same as the suspension arms. I guess I will wait for clipsetuner to try to install it.

How do you guys go about installing these? Your engine / wheels aren't gonna fall ontop of you while installing these are they?
