I just got a front strut bar from ebay. When i was installing it , i noticed the passenger side bracket was pushing against the aluminum pipe(AC line?). The bracket wont go all the way down...The driver side doesnt have a problem. Any one came across this problem b4? Or does anyone have any suggestions?

 

i just bent mine a bit.. the ac line that is.. also, depending on the FSB there should a adjuster that raises it a bit.. a pic of the bar may help us help u

if your FSTB is aligned properly it should sit .01mm above the aluminum pipe. i had FSTB on for over 1 year no problem here yet.

 

this is the one i got

anyone with more suggestions?

 

Move the A/C line. There is a bracket holding that line attached to that strut tower. Move that bracket slightly twards the rear and the A/C line will move enough to clear the bar.

 

xelementx i'm glad you posted this - i'm gonna hijack your thread just for a second

what do you think about the quality of that brace? anybody else on here tried one of the ebay ones? i want to get one, but they're soooo cheap, i'm a little worried about the quality. thanks...

 

oops sorry guys - i found my answer in this thread right hurr http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=283490

 

I have the same fstb for over a year now and all I did to make it fit was pushing the pipe a little bit down with the bar, I put a piece of rubber so it doesn't scratch the bar, or the pipe.

 

I don't know about evo vector, but mine is from ebay and is called ReVotec, and it works great so far! There was a little bit of fitment issues, but overall, it is good for the money. $16.50.
