I'm trying to see if there's a strut bar out there for the Z where the bar will clear the plenum spacer without spacers on it. I've done some searching (5-6 pages in for a search for "spacer & strut"), and it seems like everyone uses those strut spacers.

I want to try and find one that doesn't need spacers, so I don't have to worry about dropping the spacers if I needed to remove the strut bar.

I'm also unsure if this thread should be in the intake/exhaust section or the suspension section...as it pertains to both.

 

My stock bar cleared without spacers

 

just use the spacers on the "studs" then, not on the rest - should give you the clearane you need

on mine, I only use the spacer on the drive side stud...works fine (Carbing brace and 1/4 inch spacer)

 

Hey does your strut hit your hood? I have the JIC with AAM spacer and about 1/4" spacer and I'm barely rubbing the hood in two spots.

 

it did when I had all the spacers installed but since I droped it down to just the driver side "stud" one, it no longer hits

 

hmmm maybe i'll try that instead, thanks
