I had ordered a rear triangle strut brace off an ebay seller, didnt here anything for 2 weeks, then I got a message saying that have closed down and I'll be refunded.

Anyone seen any reasonably priced front and rear braces for the IS300?

Thanks

tbh you wont notice any diff with the strut braces in fact their wont be any diff they will only help if you had coilovers and they are set to theyre hardest setting..

good buys!

would recommend looking for chassis braces first though, the strut braces arent hugely effective in the IS from what i know, chassis braces however are hugely!

As in lower chassis braces?

I read a few people saying the upper strut braces make a good difference and compliment the ARB's well.

Just ordered this rear http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...473wt_1165

i did recently say that the top front tower strut i got from bandit has improved the set up im running, but i am lowered on hks coilovers and have the hotchkis arbs on the stiffest setting, next on my tightening mission will be bottom chassis braces front and back and also some wing supports and eventually centre cabin brace and side bars

the lexus doesnt suffer from strut flex unless lowered a lot on coilovers and they are set hard....even then its minimal but as stav says lower braces are were you'll notice the diff..
