Default Question on Front Strut Bar

Hello,

I was curious if you have any better pics of the HKS Kansai Front Strut Tower Bar, the one online on the site is kind of small. Also do you know if this will work with the NRG Hood Dampers installed? From what I have read the Cusco one cant be installed on CRZ with the Hood Dampers so I am just curious if maybe the HKS ones go in a different way and would still work fine?

Thanks,
-R

As far as I know it goes under the black vent cover and should not interfere with the hood dampers. I'm planning to get it to go with the same dampers. But yes if some with the strut already can confirm that would be great!

Yeah I knew the Cusco ones did not work, I remember you posting they did not in the NRG Hood Dampers section which was a good thing for me. After seeing this one I like the idea of it plus it being back further seems better but yeah need to hear from someone who has it or from Bulletproof and see if they know.

Side Note: Who did ur interior in red and black? I love it and want to do something kinda like that with mine? and how much did you pay?

Thanks,
-R

That's the only picture supplied by HKS Kansai -- sorry!

As far as fitment, I think you both are spot on in saying that the dampers would work since it's not the same mounting position as the Cusco bar, which I have messed around with first hand. I was really curious to see why they went with the reinforced brace in that particular attachment point, but it looks like it actually works how they designed it!

I know we haven't imported any HKS Kansai front strut bars for members here yet, might be a possibility that someone else has though.
