AAS and strut bar question

I have a S5 GXL with the AAS suspension, can I use an ebay front strut tower bar? I'm not sure if the AAS would get in the way or not. I don't really want to spend the cash to find out I can't use the bar, but I couldn't find the answer when I searched.

I asked the question earlier, in the suspension thread. No one answered it, so thats why i'm posting it here.

It should fit.
Almost all the STB's have the hole for the "top" of the strut, and you just need access for the actuators to go through there.

I would just chuck all that AAS crap, since it's probably not functioning properly due to age and wear&tear.
Get a set of aftermarket shocks, and you'd be surprised what you're missing.

Word to that. Uness your AAS struts are pretty new they're shot to the point where they don't do much more then make your car more bouncy on the sport setting.
