No...

check ebay, u can find 03+ ones that fit there.

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

**SiReal** · 20-03-2008 03:32 PM

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).
