I'm looking for a strut bar specifically made for a s13 w/ a CA. I've tried a couple s13 240 strut bars, but none clear the intake manifold. From searching on SXOC, it seems possible to bend a normal 240 bar to fit, but I really don't want to do that to a support bar. I think apexi and cusco make them, but where could I buy one in the US? Anyone selling one? Thanks

http://www.alamoautosports.com Their website is under massive construction. I know Bryce ... :)

It takes a pretty radical bend to clear the manifold. if anyones ever seen a picture of one. I think Cusco might make one in the Japanese market..

mmm I'm supposed to have a FET one on the way from Japan..

I got pair of Pilot Motorsport bars for a 240sx and I bent them to fit without any problems, I got them from JCWhitney.

If you don't want to do that then Cusco make one for the CA.

Do you ask them for it or what? All I saw was S13 STB's from cusco, but didnt say if it fit the CA.
