J's Racing Front Strut Bar Installed (R18) !!!

Element63 · 06-22-2009, 11:34 PM

Here is the J's Racing Front Strut Bar installed on my 2007 EX coupe... I also got a J's Radiator Cap with it. I know some people that have left the side plastice covers off. I just cut a hole for the bracket to pass through it, and they fit on fine now.

updated pic with the K&N short ram intake, even tighter fit than with the stock airbox.

It looks nice and all but isn't that kind of retarded? You just lost the ability to easily top up your clutch and brake reservoir, get at the air filter and it even looks to cover the oil fill on the valve cover

LOL.. good luck trying to install an intake now..

but a nice fine piece of art though.

LakewoodSI2007 · 06-23-2009, 12:53 AM

how much did you get it for and where?

Well for the amount of times you need to top of those fluids, i'm not to worried. It takes all of 30 seconds to take the bar off and maybe 2 minutes to take the bracket off. I'm installing a K&N short ram intake in a couple days so I wont need to worry about the stock airbox anymore either.

I'll just have to take the bar off the brackets to install my K&N SRI, that should be here in a few days....

I got it from a local shop, here in Calgary. So my I got a good price on it because I've got lots of stuff from them.

It is on the J's Racing Website for $231 USD

Not really.... I don't really drive my car that hard so if it actually helps its not that noticable.

Ya the 3 point bar is the Cusco one. That one was a little to flashy for me, so I went with this one.

Here is the local shops website.....

speedtech racing development || ver.2

I don't know if they order them in and then ship them out or not? I deal with the store located in Calgary. Tell them where you are and maybe they will direct you to a shop closer to you.
