Front Strut Tower Brace

I have a y2k3 Maxima SE with Auto. I was hoping to install a Stillen Front Strut Tower Brace but they say that there's will not fit an 03 with Auto ??.
Anyone know who else makes a good FSTB that will fit an 03 with Auto.

Stillen IS advertising that their FSTB will not fit an 03 auto... I don't know why... possibly because of the manifold height due to the tranny.

?

Yeah maybe because of the tranny. It fit fine on mine, but I have 6-speed though.

If the Stillen won't fit, buy a BOMZ (or another no-name brand) - fits on my 2k3 auto with only a minor caveat (touches the intake manifold under hard reverse accelerating - but that's about once a month).

Get the E-Bay special! $24 shipped and it works great. Fits great as well.

Get an OTTO... same look and quality as a Stillen, only 1/3rd of the price.
