Post Which strut bar with Ground Control top hats ?

I did a search but didn't find much info.

I just recently bought a complete rear disc EM1 swap for my 98 EX and it has the 13 mm rear sway bar that doesn't require a rear sub frame brace when installed.

My question is, does anybody know of a front strut bar that is about 22 mm or so that will work with the Ground Control top hats? I was going to try to get the EM1 strut bar that wouldn't work with the top hats on.

The top hats shouldnt affect the strut bar as they mount under the shock tower?

LOL'z...

OP I'm pretty sure your EX is stock w/a 22mm front sway bar.

If your looking for a strut tower I'd stick w/Ohsnapz advice. OEM FTW

Ok cool I was just trying to make sure that em1/ 99-00 Si's front strut tower bars would work, because I thought the design would go over where the top hats were.

Crap I see what you mean now. Yeah you might need to find one that doesnt do that. Something like the pwjdm 3pt would work.

Yes I have been looking at those but wouldn't that be way too thick of a strut tower bar to work with the 13 mm rear sway bar? Correct me if I'm wrong, I just wanna make sure the vehicle handles right.

Strut tower bar hardly do a difference. It won't ill effect your 13mm rear sway bar in anyway.
