Default Ground Control Top Hats on EM1 clearance ?

I am looking to get the ground controls coils, koni, yellows, and gc top hats for my EM1. But I was wondering if the top hats will clear the stock EM1 strut bar. Does any one know if they will or not. I really dont want to pay for them and then find out they wont clear. Removing the strut bar is not an option cause I want ot leave it in. Any help.

Thanks,
Daniel

They fit you just have to bend the flat part of the strutbar wit hsome pliers. That metal is really flimsy, so its not hard at all.

Why not jus get another (better) strut bar if the top hats don't clear it? The OEM bar doesn't really do all that much compared to other ones such as Cusco, Carbing, or PasswordJDM's 3-point.

I've heard horror stories from the Password JDM 3 point ones.
