Default front strut bar question

Any of you guys ever have a problem with your strut bar clearing the the throttle body? Mine is right on it and I'm afraid that might cause a problem in the future. I originally wanted to use spacers but it seems like the strut is hitting the underside of the hood already.

What year is your teg? What strut bar are you using? And do you have a swap in there?

I probably won't be able to help, but this info will probably help others.

It's an AC Autotechnic bar. I had great results with one of their short ram intakes so I decided to go with them on the strut bar. Guess the joke's on me. Has anyone else ever had a problem with the strut bar hitting the hood? If not, let me know which brands fit well under the hood of a '91 Teg and I'll go scoop one up. Thanks.

Also had the same strut bar. It was a little too close for my liking but I never had a problem with it.

I had to take the bar off because since it was flat on the throttle body it was not allowing the engine to vibrate. Consequently, the steering wheel and the rest of the car were shaking. I tried to put spacers under the ends of the strut bar but it didn't raise it up off the throttle body. If you were able to use the Autotechnic bar, maybe it's something with my car. You have a '91 Integra as well? Sux. Now I have to try to sell this bar.

Yeah, I tried the washers but it didn't help. Guess I'm out a few bux. Any opinions on which brand of bar I should buy next for my '91 Teg?

No problem with an ITR bar with a B18C in an EG.
