    Strut bar on M30 Swap?

    Hey do you guys know if you can fit any strut bars with the M30 swap?

    I would prefer a Sparco style bar, but if that doesn't fit I'd like to find something that fits. Worried it might be to tight with the hood to get one in there.

    Thanks in advance! -Dylan

    my bar is approximately the same shape and dimension of the sparco, and I have a little room to spare...

            And it fits? That's good to know. How about the lower crossbrace, any luck with an M30?

                        I'm just in the accumulation phase of my project, hopefully someone who has done the swap can take a picture. Otherwise, spring of '09 for me.

                          Strutbar that goes near firewall is no prob, but no way you can fit one that goes straight from tower to tower.
