Default EG lower rear tie bar. what the EF?

i bought the carbing unit, and my car is at the shop, they just called and said it doesnt fit, what the expletive, i was under the impression that it does bolt up without a hitch.

i know others have used eg bars, has anyone had a similar experience???

i just got back from the shop to check it out, and sure enough, it doesnt fit.

its way off, at least a full 10mm away from being able to be bolted on, im so ******* pissed because apparently eg bars are "supposed to fit"

anyone wanna buy a brand new carbing dc/eg rear lower tie bar??

DC/EG bars don't fit because the chassis is better. Next time buy something made for your car.

Yea if its a 1 piece bar (without provisions for adjustment) it wont fit. Someone tried doing the same with the Benen bar and it was off by about the same. If u get an adjustable bar for an DC/EG, like the Skunk2 lower tie bar, you will have better chances that it will fit the EF. I know the Skunk2 one works b/c i have one.

Did you do any enlarging of the bolt holes on the bar? Fitment wise, not bad.

I got a ractive lower i got it for like 15 bux. It gets the job done. I put them on all my cars. You can tell a difference too. The best stut bar upgrade I've had to daate though is the nuespeed front I have now.
