LUKE-Strut Bars?

Luke,
When do you think you will be getting in some front strut bars for the 2002 G20. The Eibach springs I got from you, work great and look great. I highly recommend them.

what price did he get you for the eibach springs? might be interested. do you have a p11? did ya change the shocks or keep the stock shocks with the new springs? how's the ride? :)

for now, no one has any plans on making front STB for the 2000+ G20. Stillen is 'thinking' about it...:confused:

Will a FET bar fit a 2002???

from what i heard form Japan is that non of hte JDM front strut bars will fit the US P11..even 1999 ones because of the intake mainfold...the 1999 ones have emission control (for obd2) and wont clear the bars. if 1999 wont fit...2000+ wont fit either cuz the intake manifold on the 00+ P11s are even taller.

Damnit! Is there any way to lower the intake thingie?

i have a 2001 g20 and face the same prob of not having a strut tower bar.....can't we just get the 99 ones and put fat washers under the brace before we bolt it on to clear the intake????

jus an idea

I would have my doubts about raising the height of the bar. This could cause a hood clearance issue. Depending on how high, it may push up the hood or become extremely difficult to close. My Top Speed bar was made for my car and still indents the underlining. I know if I raised my bar, I wouldn't be able to close my hood.

Hey: for those of you that have the 2002 G20, Im working on a new strut tower bar for my 99, you can see the post here.

Brian is supposed to give me some dimensions on the 2002 so I can make it to fit those models as well. If anyone else would like to grab that dimension for me that would be awesome. To do it...pop the hood, lay a straight edge across both fenders just above the innermost bolt of the strut assmebly (the one closest to the engine) and measure the distance from that to the highest point on the intake manafold to the bottom of the straight edge. Much thanks,

Pat

BTW, I would not recomend "shimming" the brace with washers, this would concentrate the load on these points and may cause problems, ulness you can get a shim that is a match of the ring part that you bolt down, more like a metal gasket.
