Default strut bar

I would think maybe sending half of the money and when the bar is completed I would e-mail to whoever purchased one a pic of the completed bar.Then you would send the remainder of the money and shipping and in return would ship out the bar priority mail.Let me know who would like one and juan can get these bars ready for you guys.Alot of you know that I'm a new member, but I would like everybody to know that I am not making any profit from this.I simply want to hook up my fellow cl members.I recently met some well respected cl members at our recent meeting at tower shops and they know first hand that this is not a scam because they saw the bar and met me.Just post up if would like one.

It simply bolts to the top of your strut tower, on top of those black plates.

Thanks for helping us out. I was wondering if you can post a close-up pic of the Strut Bar on your car. I want to get a good look at what it looks like. I want to see if it will clear the EDFC controller.

Thanks! Here's a pic of the Strut tower with the EDFC controller. Do you think it will clear?

robert,

you're the expert but looking at that pic I don't see how he can put *any* strut tower bar on....

kts_GS3,

car you relocate that EDFC?

I don't think so. The dampening adjustment **** is at the top of the shock (coilover), thus that electronic device has to go right on top of that.

I know there are Strut bars that will clear that on a 2nd gen GS with EDFC.

It's hard to tell from the pic how much room you have. Why don't you wait to order until I get mine and I'll do some measuring for you.

EDIT: the pic below says all.

Default jdm strut bat

I also recently acquired a jdm bar like the one on the aristo pictured earlier.This bar I know for a fact will clear and I'm selling it for 250.00.I bought it for a friend , but he no longer wants it.He likes the custom bar better.I won't keep it because I like my bar better.If anyone is interested, let me know. As for the custom bar clearing , I'm not sure if it will.

So, it looks like the K-Break will work.
PIanoman72, are you or did you order one already? Where & how much?

{-.-} & Pianoman72, thanks for the info.
