I took my little C-spacers off, then placed the strut bar on, then put back the C-spacers, thightened down all the bolts, then finished. The strut bar you purchased should work, you may have bend the bar a little to get the holes to match up. I had to bend my bar a little, so it would match up and to allow the hood to close easily. The bar does snuggly hit the insulation under the hood, but no big problem. Just make sure you are not hitting the intake manifold or EGR valves. Otherwise the engine my vibrate onto the strut bar and cause annoying vibration sounds. Good luck.
