I have a 00 USDM Type R and installed my Tein HA's a few weeks ago. I went to install my Spoon Upper Strut but it wouldn't fit. The support brackets fit on-top of the tower, but the supper half of the suspension is in the way of the screw for the strut bar. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

 

get the m00gen strut bar, IMO it looks better and fits over my HA's.

 

Sell the Spoon and get the Mugen strut bar

 

Anybody selling a Mugen strut bar? I will trade straight across for my Spoon if your interested.

 

a mugen strut bar is twice as much as a spoon one..goodluck with the trade

 

You can get one here Sooooooo nice

LOL... get a fake one for $60 on EBay and $200 worth of brake pads instead of a Mugen bar...

*runs*

 

why wont it fit? u got a pic?

 

Actually, spoon strut bars can be purchased between $190-225, and Mugen bars run between $265-300. If anybody wants to sell it strait up or I can throw down some cash and make a trade.....that would be great!

 

any pics? i am running tein ha's on my ek and the spoon strut bar fits perfectly.

 

lol in that case, I'll sell anyone my Spoon front STB for 160.00. It's bling bling, clean and just about a year old.

 

I had that problem with fitment as well. Except my strut bar wouldnt fit under the Spoon Hood I have. I just sent it back to AJR and they sent me a replacement which fit properly.
So try and return it to the place of purchase. It may just be a defective piece.

 

Re-install your stock one. WTF is so hard about that? Not enough bling for ya?

 

mine fit fine and i have the same setup as you. heres a link:
