I was wondering if you can use a strut bar on the factory suspension on the twin turbo vr4 models w/e , with the adjustable suspension?

what is your question. i'm very very confused. when it comes to strut bars, there is a front strut TOWER bar, and a rear strut TOWER bar. I assume you are referring to these, as to whether or not they will work with the adjustable suspension like coilovers, etc. I don't have adjustable suspension, but i assume it will work b/c the strut tower bars (front and rear, both) simply attach around the edge of the top of the strut tower assembly. I see no way for the bar mount to interfere with the ECS (stock or aftermarket). in fact, i know there are many cars over at 3si who are running coilovers, adjustable suspensions and have strut tower bars. One that comes to mind right now is HydeDW (or Hyde DW--cant' remember if there's a space in there or not).

HID conversion KIT? where did you find a kit? i thought all first gen HID installations had to be custom.

I bought it from xrp its a small company that doesnt even have a web site thats how small it is - but basically they take the bmw HID elements/filliment or w/e - an customly install them in a glass sealed enclosure.. so all i am changing is the wireing an the square sealed fixture - its gonna be hot looking cant wait!

ya, i have the H4 headlight conversion on my car. so the installation of the projector lens + bulb would be easy. except i'd wanna scrap the plastic housing cover and get a clear one.
