What strut bar works with the J's Racing intake???

I just put on a J's Racing intake and it is just barely clearing my Neuspeed front-upper strut bar. Anyone ever have this problem??? What did you do?

Zip tie a small sponge between the bar and the intake and you should be fine.

FYI, the OEM ITR strut bar clears.

did you bend down your a/c line when you installed it? that might help with the clearance issue

Stock, mugen, and many others as long as you angle the intake.

The Spoon front bar clears it nicely.

the intake still rubbed on my OEM strut bar.. is there a lot more clearance with the mugen strut bar?

Angle the intake differently if it hits your stock strut tower bar.

Wow...cracking? Get that thing off their then....you're hurting the whale

The ziptie isn't a bad idea, but you can also get some weather stripping thats padded and apply the stripping to the baR!

do any of you have the issue of the intake hitting the radiator fluid reservoir and also apply pressure to the plugs on the distributor?

My J's hits one of the wires on the dizzy. Doesn't bother me or the wires. Also I run the Spoon STB and it fits just fine.
