well if the suspension top nuts are the same for the models, then yes it MAY fit. It also depends on how long the bar they supply u is.

I would stick to buying something that is for that particular appilcation.

^ And even then it may still need some 'persuasion'.

I had to remove a bracket and relocate the clutch reservoir to fit mine.

you even moved the clutch reservoir? wow.. i have to move my brake fluid resevoir but I decided to leave it as is, and now I have a $150 strut bar sitting at home for bling.

I didnt really want to tinker with any of the core components of the car

Yeah I think my strut bar was designed for an automatic car.

The clutch reservoir sits on a bracket mounted to the firewall for now. I'll try and find some time to relocate it properly soon, but finding existing mount points that are higher than the cylinder is a problem.

I'd hate to be in your shoes, but maybe this picture will give some inspiration...

Add some 'braided' hose sleeves for some extra bling :p

It's a carmate strut brace.

And that's not a pic of my setup. I'm not THAT dodgy. :)

Not that pretty, but looks perfectly servicable to me. That car is obviously a racer using a twin MC set up with a brake balance bar, nice set up! Used to have a similar set up in a clubman sports car, highly recommended, though possibly not legal on a road car (at least not without an engineer's ticket).

Not sure if you'll need to do anything to an auto to make it fit.
