R1 Strut Bar too Tall?
I've always wanted a R1 strut bar and now as I'm finishing up my engine bay I finally got one and I'm cleaning it up real nice. I went to test fit it though about a month ago and it doesnt fit at all. I couldnt even close the hood onto the safety latch. So its about 2inches or more too high. How do I ajust this? It fits on the shock mounts perfect its just way too tall. Maybe the car I got it off of was in an accident and it got bent or something?
im probably just not adjusting it right.
thanks

I had an R1 bar on mine for a while, but it was actually too low! I have the M2 medium IC setup, and the piping coming from the turbos to the IC would rub along the R1 bar. My hood had a bit of trouble closing too, but it was because of the IC pipe and not the bar. I just hammered it down a bit, and all was well.
I can't see how the stock R1 bar would actually be too tall...what mods do you have?

well it doesnt fit...are the side mounts correct? the passenger one has an R on it. Is that right?
what else could I be doing wrong lol? it looks so damn good just doesnt fit. Do I need to remove the under the hood padding cause im not willing to do that.
