Default strut tower brace to clear fast 102???
I need a brace that will clear my 102, I have a red BMR now and I can't get it to clear, spacers or anything. Does someone make a taller bar that will clear?

I had to cut the inner bolt slot open to allow me to run spacers under the bar.

I also have AFCO coilovers, so I don't use the stock bolts, I have 3" bolts that come up from the bottom.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. With the 102 being the only option from FAST, this is good to know.

There was another thread on this not that long ago.
Don't recall whether there was any solution.

I think they run into issues clearing the hood. I just ditched mine and didn't notice anything. Well, still have it, but not installed.

Nope, they do not have a problem clearing the hood if you have a SS or Ramair hood...

Do you need one or want one? Census around here is that it really doesn't do anything for handling purposes. Jus' trying to save you some hassle and cash.
