    Koni SA's and Strut Bar interference?

    Am I going to have an issue with adjusting Konis here?

    you wont be able to do it with the knob, maybe you could use a wrench of some sort. I dont know if the dust cap will even fit on that though, doesnt look like it

      The old dust cap fit on there alright. That probably wasn't the best angle, here's a couple more...

        I cannot use the nobs or the caps with my strut bar. I just use a pair of pliers to adjust it.

          so what do you do, let crap get in the bearings? Just get a strut bar that will let the caps fit you to adjust it with the knob

              Ok, I just didn't know what the adjuster was going to look like. I probably won't be getting my struts back from G-C for a few weeks. I guess a sparco bar is another thing to add to the list.

              That sucks, I like the Racing Dynamics 3 piece design because if you need to get access to something on the motor, you don't have to pull the whole bar, just undo a bolt and pivot it up. Anyone know of any other 3 piece ones that wouldn't interfere with the konis?

              Thanks!

                  Thanks man, heh, see my sig for expected completion... :)
                  But seriously, I'm shooting for June or July. I've got a few major purchases yet on the S50... i.e. Sunbelt or Schrick cam kit.
