21000 yen is about £140. Bargain!
Edit: Scratch that, Altezza ones are cheaper.

2tongues was there an issue about the welding on those braces? I seam to remember reading something along those lines??????
Not as far as i can find mate,
the welding is meant to be a lot better then the actual TOMS or TRD ones

thats probably what was said - my memory playing tricks on me!!
I am getting old now......................

having a dig around found two possible problems.
apparently the toms tension bars dont fit the IS200 only the altezza (but we'll see)
and the japsai rear braces can scrape as they make the car about 15mm lower! but i think i can sort that.

As you can see the bottom bars are welded in a step on top of the others.
plan is to grind these off, cut them at an angle and weld them back to the inside at work. cant see why it wasnt done in the first place to be honest.
but need to check under the car tomorrow as they may foul something so better check first.

they look pretty nice but wont be long till they get scrape and lose the colour

I ve got a set of the 'japsais' amazing! makes the back end so tight, but if you ve got coilovers with adjustable dampning you might have to play about with the settings.
I fitted these and a rear upper strut brace, i had to soften the rear dampning as the back end was very skippyround the bends!
The front ones not too bad for clearence just the back one hits off everything with my car, need to get them cut and re-done.
Mr Mole. If you want to see a set let me know, could poss sort something out.

is there any other under braces out there? asking becasue you cant get these one anymore
Little write up on the evolution of my car - Sparkystav - 03-12-2017
theres cusco ones, toms ones, TRD ones.
may has to invest in new adjustable coilovers then! unless someone wants to swap a set of adjustable dampening coilovers, with some TTE height only adjustable coilovers plus cash!
