so I got a comptech titanium sway bar and it fits the mounts and all mint with no issues.. but I have P2R plenums and when u bolt it down it's touching just by a hair... but when u hit the gas the car vibrates... to the point i dun't want my car..


so i put my oem on back on and now I am at the dilema.

what should I do..

I'm thinking grind down the rear plenum 2-3mm and that will clear it...

I got my buddy to get in the car and rev it up and the motor barely moved.. so i think if i grinded the rear plenum it'll all work out.

what you guys think...

I am thinking of selling it by the way so I am up for offers

Grind down!

what about putting a washer under where it bolts to the suspension. That should raise it a mm or two.

but that's really close clearance.. so I raise it 2 washers say 2 mm... even still that's cutting it close!!
you pose a very good a quick solution. which may very well work.

I may grind off some material off the plenum and do what you said... if someone doesn't offer me what I paid for it

lol i thought of that already but I don't want to switch that all over... i like the plenum look... for the few hp or w/e is the difference it's not worth it. i'm gonna try and make it work or not...

The Comptech strut bar does not touch & I have the P2R thermal gasket between the manifold & engine so it's slightly taller.

I have P2R PLENUMS.. they are much bigger thus i don't have enough space

Get a Neuspeed bar. Its widely known that the CT bar will hit the intake if youre running the P2R plenums or the manifold spacer.

Just put a piece of rubber inbetween where it's hitting

from what i know, the CT strut bar is a BITCH to install. so maybe you just need to make sure its bolted on correctly

wtf??? the comptech bar is EASY to install.. I put it on in under 30 mins including taking my old one off.

It's not hard at all.. it's the clearance..


and i thought about putting something in between the plenums and bar but there is literally no space.. like a sheet of paper wouldn't slide between.

like i said when it's installed the car resonates the entire motor!! it's fucked.

either a lot of work to make it work.or i sell it and move on... i'd ike to sell it if I get a decent offer.

Not to go off topic here but
Is the facotory strut bar any good at all ??
I have noticted a lot of ppls here with the Comptech/neuspeed and other AFM strut bar.

does it really make a significant diffeence compared to stock ??
Any advantages ?????

Chill, if you're going to sell it, take it to the BM. Sounds like this is a known issue with this strut brace, get the neuspeed like Morgan said.

It's junk, stay on topic please
