MA70 vs JZA70 strut tower brace

[bosco659]

I need a new front strut tower brace. Most available are for the JZA70. Will these strut tower braces fit properly an an MA70 without issues are are spacers needed? In my case I don't have TEMS so that isn't a concern for me. If spacers are required, how thick do they need to be? Thanks.

As far as I know, they are 100% interchangeable. I'm not a JDM guy, and I've dealt almost exclusively with US spec cars with US spec motors over the last 20 years.

Many of the parts we used to have to import from Japan back in the 90's were marked JZA70. I never had fitment problems.

If anyone knows any differently, please post it up.

jza70 is a mkiii with a 1jz sold in japan.

The one's I have on my car (MA70) are jza70 rear fits perfect and jza80 front once again bolted straight on clears the intake manifold boned closes and no spacers at all

arent they both just the same cars with different engines and vin tags? so anything from one would fit on a another.

Thanks for all the input. I will get my order in soon for a new stb. Will either go with a Cusco or JIC.

If there is a difference the only thing I can think of is clearing the 7M intake pipe.

Same reason the TRD MKIV strut tower bar is for the 2J-GTE only...
