Will an R1 Strut Bar Fit Over a 3-rotor engine?
Hey guys,
This might be a stupid question, but since I've never really seen a picture of this strut bar on any 3-rotor engine I was wondering if it would clear? If not, what do most FD 3-rotor owners use/suggest as a strut bar option?
Thanks in advance,
Rizwan

The simple answer is no, but it all depends on the swap. These are so custom, it will vary from project to project.
I had my LIM chopped 1" and it still wont fit, its close, but i'd have to put spacers in under the brackets for it to fit. I dont have the R1 bar, just another aftermarket strut bar (cant remember where I bought it), but the Cusco raises higher, I think, and might work for me. There are too many factors to give a difinitive yes or no. But more than likely it won't.

^Thanks for the link! Your car looks great. I don't think the bar will fit with my planned setup though. Looks like it's VERY close even with your tranny moved back. I guess I'm gonna need to part with it soon.
IMO it's the nicest strut bar for these cars.
