Hey guys,

I have this awesome TRD 3-point front strut brace/tower bar for sale. These are very rare to find these days and make a noticeable difference in handling, plus they look amazing in the engine bay too. Direct bolt-on for all ST202 6th Gen Celicas and Currens, and instantly make your chassis more rigid, which improves cornering ability and steering response. Forget the weak factory strut brace that you can bend in half with your hands, this TRD triangular brace is built solid (although still nice and light) and is ready to handle anything you can throw at it.

It's still in very good condition with no dents, cracks, deep scratches etc. There are a few spots where it's missing some paint but nothing that a quick touch up can't fix. These are a very difficult item to get your hands on, so act now while it's available! biggrin.gif

Shipping available worldwide. Please don't hesitate to ask for a free estimate.

$350 NZD ($318 AUD, $296 USD, £175, €221) + shipping. Payment can be made through PayPal (other payment methods also available).

Hi there, yes, this would fit your AT200 smile.gif. The only difference between the ST models is that you likely won't have the two holes in the firewall for the bolts to thread into (if you don't have a factory strut brace), however it's a very simple process to drill the two holes and secure the centre of the strut brace with a couple of nuts on the other side. I did this on my Corolla as it didn't come with a strut brace from factory, but it's very easy to do. You simply secure the strut brace to the strut bolts and then trace around the bolt holes on the firewall. Then you just drill the two holes, remove the plastic wiper cowling, slide the bolts through and put a washer and nut on the back. I chose to use stainless Nyloc nuts and washers so they won't ever rust or come loose smile.gif

Right now with the discounted shipping the grand total including PayPal fees would be £213

I believe the holes are there and that they have threads. There are just plastic stick on covers covering the holes.

Thanks for the info! biggrin.gif. After looking at a few more pics online at AT200 engine bays I can certainly see the bungs over the holes. Certainly makes things easier smile.gif
