ok, i finally got my cusco ST front tower strut bar. i didn't think about fitment problems until i tried bolting down the driver side bolts; the bar rubs on my DA master cylinder / brake booster. i shimmed up the bar up a bit with washers, something i REALLY didn't want to do, but that's the only thing i could think of doing without having to cut the bar itself.

so my question is, does anyone know of another master cylinder cup i could use that may be angled backwards or something?

 

Oh crap.

I guess I'll be doing some test fitting tonight!

I was putting off even opening the package until the motor goes in.
I guess I will open it tonight just to make sure.

yea, i'd do some test fitting as i'm only using the ST...i can only imagine what fitment would be like with the 40mm!

 

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the ITR also and have the DC sport bars

Will check also might be the same for me


I am crossing my fingers for all of us

 

Hahaahahaaaaa!!!!

I test fit mine last night.
Well, to say the LEAST I would have to use washers.
I would also have to extend the studs for the struts!

With the passanger side mounted in place, the driver side gets on the studs about one or two threads.
You can't even put the nut back on!

So, I'm going to finish up a couple other things I've started doing with the car.
After that I'll see about cutting down the master cylinder reserviour.
I think I'll be able to do it, but I have to work out all the details still.

Damn, this sucks!

 

damn! that's pretty much the exact same problem i'm having. the bar itself is shimmed up by a good inch worth (yea, i know ) of washers, yet i STILL get rubbing. are there any other 15/16'' master cylinder reservoirs that are thinner in size?

 

you could pull off the Integra junk and go back to your stock booster with a 90.91 Civic Sedan EX master cylinder. That is 15/16" and fits just like stock.

i guess i could, but i'm too lazy to take the da booster back off and put my stock one back on. damnit!

Exactly what I'm saying right now.

I wonder if the Nuespeed bar would fit?

yea, the neuspeed fit fine...i used to have one. i hear that the bar i have is for non-abs CRXs and that i should have gotten the ABS one.

this is bent forward and seems like it wouldn't interfere with the larger m/c+b/b.

 

dang

I don't know i that would work for me.

Mine is already tilted forward a bit.

The ITR MC and booster stick out a LOT further than the stock stuff.
I'm interfering with the MC about 1/4" inch into it.

I guess I'll take pics this weekend.

 

yea, i can imagine it sticking out a little more than my da mc/bb. i'll probably take pics today myself...

 

So why did you get rid of the so highly acclaimed Neuspeed bar?
(Go ahead - you may kick yourself now if you wish. )

 

it's not jDm y0!@#

that and i really like the adjustability of the cusco...and the color.

I checked my part number.
I have the ABS one so now I'm pretty much screwed for the moment.

 

wouldnt you want the abs one?

 

whoa. first i've heard of this. so does the EX 15/16" setup have this problem? I'll have to open up my spoon bar and check it out.

I doubt you will have a problem. That's stock and doesn't stick out neary as far as the Integra ones.

I do have the ABS one, but it still won't clear.

I don't have stock braking components and they are in the way of the bar.
The cap of the master cylinder and probably the reseriour tank on the master cylinder are hitting the bar so badly that the bar will NOT seat against the chassis.

 

****...

well at least it will clear the 15/16 for me...

probably not because the m/c reservoir is smaller than a DA one.
