1/4 turn past tight? I've never actually torqued those bolts to spec. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I never did find that value, but I remember them being pretty tight, though I suspect that had more to do with the thread lock they had on them.

Interesting. I added the bars to my 2020. They were $29 each + the bolts. But my bolts were the standard BMW 10mm affair. I had to tap the hole at the strut. Total install with tapping took 30 min. Might need to paint mine. I need to find the bolts spec’d for the Supra.

Whats the part number?

I replaced mine with the Blitz one. I'll be honest, I did it mostly for the aesthetics though.
