I have a 91 mr2. TRD discontinued the TRD Member Brace and I have had trouble find a shop that has one on there self. I'm also looking for a replacement in case I can't find any. Does anyone have a clue who else makes a form?

He mentioned TRD and I had never heard of them making any other braces other than the Strut Tower Brace. So Idunno either.

okay back about two or three years ago trd had a full line up of suspension types for the mr2. Most are becoming a pain to get a hold of. Trd came out with the sway bar kit and strut bar kit and the coil overs in last the member brace. I have tried chico race works, ats racing, my local race shop and mr2 shop in las vegas. All cannot get ahold of it because it is a discontinued item. To help also its also called an under brace. The only other company to makes it for the sw20 mr2 is Tanabe.

don't be discouraged about the generic ebay listing...

this is the same thing i have on my car... there is a website printed on the sticker that comes on the bar... this company specializes in frame stiffness and suspension tuning and performance.

i'd actually have to jack my car up and crawl under to get the website off of it...

theres a picture of what it looks like installed on my cardomain page...

I'm not sure if I really want to trust that one or the company. I rather buy the Tanabe one for 180 for it is warrantied.
