Anyone know which strut brace will fit in a JZA80 Supra with a 1UZ in it?
Strut brace in 1UZ Supra MKIV?

all supra strut bars fit the LS...their totally interchangeable. i have a 91' LS with a carbon bar for an MKIV and its fits perfectly...i origionaly used a few washers since the egr vacuum lines knock but I removed mine eventually and it fits with no modification whatsoever. Mike at JIC watched in disbelief as I sized the bar (still in sealed plastic bag) as it fit over the struts.

Nice thanks, Im guessing you mean NA braces? They seem to be higher than the turbo ones...?

My LS has a couple washers underneath the bar but it was advertised as MKIV supra turbo. JIC-Magic sells it... full carbon fiber bar w/ black orange peel painted steel towers. Before i replaced my motor mounts I did not need ANY washers but once i replaced themthe new rubber raised the engine up 1/2''. I suprised the hell out of the salesman when he saw a supra bar fitting a lexus sedan 
Only downside is the bar retails for over $300. I have seen large turbo's on 2jz and did not hamper clearance... T66 I believe? Anywho the stock overhead manifold on the 2j is the highest point on the engine. Sheet metal side manifold or stock 1jz manifold would lower height by a few inches, thats quite a bit of extra room for a top mount! Here' a pic of my bar
Here's a TRD strut bar for MKIV mounted on LS with 2jz.... I think the TRD bar is even more than the JIC but it's a solid piece with no movement, totally solid.
