Front Strut Brace Clearance?

Post by EF_Russ »

I've finally made some progress and converted my ED7 to JDM B16A, and now I've got the enjoyable part of putting it all back together, I want to add some nice new bits :D

So, as you can guess by the title, I want to fit a front strut brace (upper) and was just wondering if anyone has had any clearance issues with particular brands/style of brace? I'm also planning to use a 1" MC and servo from a DC2, so can only presume this may hinder my options?

I'd like a PasswordJDM 3 Point brace, anyone have or had one and how's the fit?

All input welcomed :top:

have a read through my project thread. i've had nearly every front upper strut brace going (and rear upper for that matter). although I have a VT.

Cusco - clear everything 100%
Spats/Gabs/eBay - put down a lot of pressure on the cam cover breather hose
OMP/DC Sports - won't clear the pot on the intake manifold

Basically American makes won't fit, most EU/JDM ones will, but may have to re-route or extend the breather hose.
