Hey Everyone Whats Up? Well basically I want to upgrade my strut bart from a 2 pt to a 4pt one. I'm planning on buying the password jdm 4pt one. The only thing is my car is built for nitrous and My nos bottle is right where the spare tire usually is. I was wondering if it will clear under the 4p strut bars. Heres the picture of the strut bar I plan on buying. If anyone has fit a bottle under there... is it easy to take in and out and how much clearance do you have?

 

ttt come on someone must know or have done this.

 

i dont think so ...it will not fit.

 

coming soon from password JDM:



jdm slide not included.

No, they don't. If you want to know if they'll fit, take a yardstick or a peice of strapping, and lay it down where the mounting points are to see if there is clearance.

Oh come on. You know his trunk floor pan and spare tire well is ultra rigid now.

 

interesting... then why do so many companies recomend 4pt ones or ones that tie to ur c pillar brace also...

because they make a lot of money when you buy all of those bars!

all of these "braces" are a waste of money imo. the only thing that i MIGHT ever take a chance on is a lower tie bar, but even that's spotty.

though, alot of it is "feel" and i don't feel anything in cars with barzzzz and barzzz. you might. i haven't ever seen any convincing empirical evidence proving that these bars do anything--pillar bars, hatch bars, strut bars...

 

I think strut bars help because they tie the struts together and help reduce body flex. If you look any any sports car thats designed to be a sports car it comes with strut bars stock. Now why would they do that if it didn't help... also your nos bottle won't fit. I had a similar setup on my integra and mounted the bottle on top of the bars.
