Upper strut bar brace????

[black_sedan]

I recently just joined this site and this is my first post here. I just picked up an '07 Avalon Limited and love it. A lot of people don't expect someone of my age to be driving this car but oh well. LOL. On to the original question, I always thought the car wasn't "stiff" enough for me so I want to install an upper strut bar brace but couldn't find any aftermarket ones. I spent some time looking at the Es350's engine bay and noticed they have one. Would the '07+ ES350 strut brace fit the 3rd gen Avalons??

Get the specifications for the front track width of both vehicles. If it is identical. Then, your assumption could be a maybe possible fit from strut tower to strut tower.

Bear in mind that although the strut brace might line up on your Avalon...the brace bar may interfere with engine components. Like the master cylinder etc. I ran into this problem trying to fit an 06 Matrix XR TRD brace onto an 09 Matrix S. And the mounting lined up but the Brake master cylinder was in the way. I ended up ordering the 09 XRS OE brace instead. It was shaped appropriate.

Have yu checked to see if the 3rd gen Avalon "Touring" edition gets the strut tower brace?? It is the Performance Handling version of your model. Yu might know this already?

I doubt there will be any aftermarket support for the Avalon.

I have an 07 Avalon Touring. There is no strut tower brace.

Confirmed, I've been looking at pictures of the touring model and they don't seem to have the strut brace. Hm, you guys think i can purchase it from Lexus and if it doesn't fit, i can return it?
