jules,don't lar so harsh laidat......he donno...so he ask lar....that's what we are here for whaaaaatttttt......

jumpman,
a few mm off....if the strut bar is too 'short' - jack the car at the front jack point.
if too 'long'(most likely) - place the jack at the front cross member

:yes:

Or so i've found that by jacking the car..ur releasing tension on the mounts therefore, to make ease of the fitting of the strut bar. Well..had to do some "extra" work to fit it..Thanks for the advice Jules and moots!

Dude, how much did u hav to pay for da UR strut bar & wher did u buy it from if yud kindly share.

I think they are going for Rm250, can check out their site on the net, also some guy on zth is trying to sell them there. Chan may have some fitment problems with the battery getting in the way in the e30 (unless u've moved ur battery to the boot already)

the sparco bar would be a better design... won't get in the way of the battery.

I'm afraid to make that due to the fact that UR is pushing theirs. However, if there's an order for the bar can do. This sparco bar can fit both 6 cylinder and 4 cylinder.

can the sparco bar can fit e28 ?

 

[fabianyee]

the holes are spaced wider and it's longer for the E28...
