since i´m dressing up my engine bay a little bit with some ARC parts i thought why not changing out to oem one for the ARC one, but there´s always a problem involved in changing parts

mine is that i´ve got an aftermarket hood.....ing´s v2 to be exact.
the hood cleares the oem strut just. and since i´m not willing to pay for a new ARC strut bar just to find out that it won´t fit i´m asking if someone knows how much higher the ARC strut is compared to the oem one.

think i read in another thread that it would cleare a 5/16 spacer but not sure on that.

 

Not sure, but w/ the strut brace clearance spacers included w/ the plenum spacer, it will DEF clear the plenum.

Ive got a 5/16 kit with a Cusco bar and the bar BARELY, and i mean BARELY clears the plenum, but works fine with stock hood. Im sure the ARC would be not much different.

I would try it, the ings doesnt go down too far from stock height on the middle vent, and it looks like it would be in front of the strut bar anyway.
