I know the STILLEN strut bar fits with the stillen supercharger, but I was wondering if there are any other brands of strut bars that will fit with that SC on?

 

Possibly the crawford one since it's moved forward to accomidate the tall plenum.

 

crawford will.

i have a crawford bar if you wanna trade your stillen one + $.

 

There's only 3 that I know of:

[1] Stillen
[2] Crawford
[3] APS

 

Good to know. I wondered but didn't know the Crawford strut bar would work with the Stillen SC.

 

awesome, good to know I have some choice in the matter now. Thanks for the info. Does anyone know who sells the aps or crawford strutbars for a good price?

 

Since you are in Socal, you can go to Performance Nissan. BTW...remember to put some kind of weather stripping between the hood & the bar or else you will get some rubbing with the Crawford. This seems to be a common occurance that I've recently discovered (do a search). As far as the APS, it recently just came out & is a little bit harder to get/find. Plus it cost more than the Crawford but it has a similar design. Not sure if the APS rubs the hood like the Crawford though since it appears it has a slight bend to it that looks to corrects this.

 

I have the stillen hood to clear my supercharger... will it still rub? it has quite a big cowl.

 

Not sure. From what I've seen & heard, the OEM hood rubs the top of the bar towards the area where the bar meets the bracket mounts.

 

Oh, hmm, well i just saw a picture of the crawford and its not too easy on the eyes... just a straight silver bar... the stillen def. has some underhood style... and no rubbing issues...
Any idea if one is more effective than the other?

 

I think they are pretty much the same as far as functionality. Yeah, these strut bars are not too pleasing to the eye. Some folks just polish them to give it more appeal. One idea that I've been tossing around in my head is to have Stillen (or any other vendor) to take the Stillen strut bar & wrap it in CF or Polished Aluminum. That way it'll seem like one bar & hide the skeletal framework. I think it'll look really clean.
