    the 88-97's will fit.... however, the tri-bar that fits those years will not fit the 98+'s

    or from an ae92 GTS.... they're the exact same

    but also... TRD did make a front one for these cars which was an actual tri-bar... went strut-firewall-strut and also strut-strut

    Is one really more effective than the other? I would think the strut-strut bar would be better, as there is a lower possibility of the bar flexing.

    Strut to stut stabilizes only between the struts, say you hit somethin and it moved your strut towers to the side a little, they'll both be off by the same but may now be closer or farther from the firewall than should be. Where as with a tri-bar design you are going to have it attached to the firewall, still les flax on the towers and if anything ever happened it would help in strengthening the front end. There would be less movement of both towers in high speed cornering as well, as both towers can stikll flex slightly with a strut bar, the tri-bar will enforce each side along the firewall keeping it even stiffer for you.

    If someone makes a tri-bar for the 01-02. Than I'm in. But I've yet to see one.

    Wow, are you sure it fits the 98-02 rolla? It not, we have the option of the JIC-Magic front strut bar in aluminum or carbon fiber.
    ALUM: $130
    C/F: $390

    If that jdm levin bar fits, I'm getting one!!!
