Default 99-00 si // can strut bar go backwards // or hit map sensor?

I have a 99 si with the spoon strut tower bar... I wanted to put my stock bar back on as well, but it wont fit with the spoon...

So i'm trying to put it on backwards, I just have to cut some metal so the bar will clear the strut tops... almost done with that.


But the question is - will the backwards OEM strut bar hit the map sensor on the IM? It looks like it would be a close call.

**** dude i had a pic of one here on HT cant find it



anyways it barely fits (so i know itll be stiff) and i dont want to waste the energy pressing it on to find that itll hit the map sensor cause it looks MAD CLOSE to it...

ya i know the spoon one is good but why not double the power for free...

Here's a pic of a Spoon and a Cusco bar in a Civic at the same time:

a good combo would be neuspeed and a bar like the spoon except solid if they make them for your cars. i want to do it but cant afford nice bars. any adjustable bars dont do ****. i put mine on and took it right back off i lost an endplate too. get real **** or nothing. i want stock bars.

if you install it backwards, it will hit the map sensor but you may have problems with it fitting right.
