gen 3 strut-brace 3vz-fe clearance

[vienta97]

This has been brought up in other threads, but the relevant links to the strut braces that can clear the early gen 3 engine the 3vz-fe in the camry platform have unfortunately expired, I've been looking at a few and tried a 1mz fitting strut brace over the 3vz and had no success, has anyone here got anyone they can point me towards that produces one that fits, and if possible a model number I'd really appreciate it.

I was looking at this one but have low confidence in it.

I'll try it if I can't find another but shipping does hurt all the way to Australia so I'd only get a couple of tries before it's not worth it for the benefit.
thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Ultra Racing makes one that clears the 3VZ. You'd have to find a dealer in your area. Here's proof.

ahh thanks for the heads up I'll see if I can find one, their range doesn't officially include the car but that just means i'll have to do more work to find a fit, I've also seen another by freedom design that fits it's just a bit of work to try and track one down, I might have to physically turn up to a dealer with some pictures and ask for help.

and cheers about the info on the brace I linked, might have saved me a few dollars :0

I had to use a few washers to shim mine up but it worked great.

definitely serious, starting a bit of a project with the camry's suspension if I can source the part with any level of affordability in the shipping or better yet a local dealer, if you could find the part number I'd appreciate it.

edit: I think i found the right one, http://www.ultraracing.com.my/Bars.asp?ID=2634
138 delivered to aus, will grab it if it's the right one.

sorry to resurrect this thread but incase anyone who was in a similar position to me wants a confirmation, that strut brace does indeed fit, here's a picture.
