Default ? about fitment of GC / Koni setup with Billet upper Mounts and front Strut Bar (read inside)

Since the search doesnt seem to be working at the moment I was wondering if anyone can give some insight about if I will have any problems with the GC/Koni setup using the GC Billet aluminum upper mount meaning will it interfere with my Mugen upper front strut bar ? Or can anyone provide some pics of these mounts installed or point me in the right direction

here are a few pics of what kinda space there is to work with for those who dont know what I mean








Thanx

I doubt the upper mounts are going to clear your shock tower brace but you won't know without trying as it will be close. You will be fine with the Konis and GC sleeve system with that brace but the upper mount may likely hit the brace I think.

Yea Chris at redshiftmotorsports.com where I bought this setup from sent me some pics of the tophats and yea it will be close but may work I'll just have to try it
and if it doesnt I guess I will sell the Mugen bar and get the Password JDM 3 point bar


Thanx and if anyone else has any knowledge of this it would be greatly appreciated if you could shoot some info this way

And I deff give Chris at http://www.redshiftmotorsports.com a big thumbs up for all the help
while helping me choose this setup and answering my emails on a sunday ( now thats customer service

Looks like you will have enough room, if you think it is too close when you install it you can simply shim the strut bar up with a few washers.
