If anyone wants to know, i took some measurments and it looks like it should fit. when it arrives i'll post an update

It will fit, no worries.

Mista 2 · 04-05-2008, 04:46 AM

yep, it does fit. i thought it would

It fits. SC strut brace on an 86 MR2. Please excuse my dirty car.

Would anybody recommend a good rear brace? Before I put the front brace my car would flex bad when going into my house since its a pretty big dip. Put the front brace and and felt a lot better. But I can still feel the back flexing. Or would I need something else then just a rear strut brace?

Sorry for thread jack.

I take it your AW11 is atmo? if so i have never seen one. There was one on E-bay for an SC but that goes around the intercooler so i dont think that would look the best on an atmo.

Whats atmo?

Mista 2 · 06-18-2008, 05:08 AM

atmospheric (no forced induction)

what's the going rate for oem front strut braces like that?

This guy (private seller) has one for the rear struts for $90
CUSCO Rear upper strut bar FS MK1 NA Only - ForumsHawaii

They are actually a little difficult to find. Would a corolla strut tower brace fit an mk1 ?

Exactly the same thing I was thinking.

What model corolla were you looking at? I dont think they do but next time a can locate one i will try it on my car. As for a price on an OEM AW11 keep an eye out on e-bay as they do pop up. I paid $40 for mine but i am in Australia.
