mikystyle Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Will any aftermarket front strut tower bars that fit the gt work for the 3.0r model? I got an 09 and just wondering if there would be any clearance issues. Anyone have any good recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm nearly certain it will. The gt one's bow up in the middle to clear the TMIC, so I'm assuming your engine cover isn't as high as a tmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZP Installs Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Waste of money IMO. These cars are plenty stiff and there are much better ways to apply your money to. Save up for your LCA Bushings which you'll need in not so long a time If you are hell bent on buying one it should fit w/o an issue. -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg AIM: AZP Installs | E-mail: paisan@azpinstalls.com | 725 Fairfield Ave | Kenilworth, NJ 07033 | T-1 Certified Amsoil Direct Dealer "Race Tested, Enthusiast Approved!"

mikystyle Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 What's the approx mileage those tend to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 We've seen them last 100k, but most of the ones we've replaced in the NY/NJ area go in the 40-60k mile range. We've replaced more than a few un-planned during a 60k service because we found them to be torn. -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg AIM: AZP Installs | E-mail: paisan@azpinstalls.com | 725 Fairfield Ave | Kenilworth, NJ 07033 | T-1 Certified Amsoil Direct Dealer "Race Tested, Enthusiast Approved!"

AZP Installs Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Oh and by putting in the Whiteline LCA Bushings with adjustable caster you will increase your handling more than what the strut bar will do for you. Sway Bars Steering Rack Bushings Roll Center Kit All much more worthwhile items to purchase over a strut tower bar. With that said you can see our selection of suspension bushings/bars at: http://azpinstalls.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=118&Itemid=200 -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg AIM: AZP Installs | E-mail: paisan@azpinstalls.com | 725 Fairfield Ave | Kenilworth, NJ 07033 | T-1 Certified Amsoil Direct Dealer "Race Tested, Enthusiast Approved!"
