Installed the bar yesterday. It rubs against the oem engine cover. Don't know if I'm just the unlucky customer or what. But in any case, noticeable difference taking this particular transition ramp before and after the bar install. She feels really sturdy going 60mph on a 80 degree turn. Good stuff!

Recieved strut bar today. Already installed. My car is an 03 coupe with a 5/16 spacer, z-tube, and stillen ca. The bar fits without the engine cover. Barely clears the top of the engine(1/16 at the most). Had to remove AC bracket, used rubber sleeve to protect line. Had no hood clearence problems. This bar is very light weight but appears to be fairly stiff I haven't driven the car yet but I expect to feel it's there.

ok, so it's confirmed - the bar WILL fit with a 5/16 spacer, but only if the engine cover is off (i don't mind...)

thanks, g35jammer!

Depends on which company and model. I think someone confirmed this fits with the Tein CS.

Yes Sir, I even tried to put it on backwards for the hell of it... but that wouldn't even sit on there. The last side of the triangle of the left doesn't sit low enough to get the nut threads locked. The only thing I accomplished was stripping the very tips of the bolts

Looks like the Richie SB FTMFW still

so... none of the bolts screw in? if at least one screw in, screw it down tight. The strut bar base should be pressed down so the other nuts could be screwed in. any pics?

posted this on the other thread too, but:
Is your car off the ground?? It should be when installing any FSTB.

Why's that? I didn't have any problems installing my ARC bar with my car on the ground.
