We think, I was under the car as i was getting my X pipe in, the rear would fit sure no problem, even though that was said before, it's soo thin stock btw. and apparently the service manual pages i got showed that the X and the Journey have different front sways but some people are saying that it looks like the sport sways, so we're back at square one.

 

i was actually just thinking about buying a front STRUT just to finish off the engine and to compliment the k&n.

i would like to confirm fitment for the X though and make sure there are no issues with the hood liner

 

the strut fitment will be same on X sports etc, but they WILL rub a little onto the liner no matter what you do...

 

The only way to stop the rubbing is to either take off the engine cover or get a different cover i think. Or remove the liner. Although I don't know what the cons of that is. Maybe water of your hood evaporating? Or the extreme heat would mean the hood would peel faster?

 

Mine works great!



Sorry, I couldn't resist!

 

^ Looks good, but you need to clean it lol.

 

That pic was taken right after finishing about 3 days work on the car... and I still wasn't done yet. I don't even have that intake or catch tank anymore...

 

I don't remember those branded as GTSPec
when Scott did them before they were VRT.
I had on too, on my '04.

 

I don't know why or how, but Scott brought this design to GT Spec after the VRT scandal and they made and sold 5. I have no clue why they stopped with 5, but I'm guessing they were just testing the market and the final decision probably has something to do with cost, difficulty of the manufacturing process, etc...

 

ahhh gotcha....
I missed that somehow.

 

I noticed less flex in the front end under hard cornering and more respsonsive steering. worth the $200

 

Thanks for the review

 

Any body have any other reviews on other strut bars?, and how do they compare, they say kinetix has a real good one with very strong mounts.

 

well since this was posted in the 2nd gen forum and there's only one FSB out there for us (GTSpec), i don't think you'll see other FSBs.

 

there is one more from circuit sports i have the link to buy it on my other computer at home, if no one post by tonite i'll do that, i was looking into it as its seems like a solid one piece so should be really rigid. but got save some money for now
