So non of the LC beta swap guys are using a front strut bar? Maybe I should ask this ? in the hybrid section.

I've installed a front strut bar which i retained while my car had the alpha 1.6 in it.

Since the beta intake manfold get's in the way, i used Washer spacer's on the strut tower studs and placed rubber foam on the bottom of the strut bar to make sure it don't vibrate while in contact with the manifold.

I'll post pic's soon..

I have got to imagine the 1.5 and 1.6 accents use the same strut bar right?

yeah, just make sure it's a LC strut bar,

evofusion screwed up on my order and sent me the X3 bar since the car's name was accent..

I tired using my old Kore strut bar but with no luck.

Theres got to be more beta swap guys with strut bars

blame the bulkiness of the intake manifold

like i said, the strut mount stud's are pretty tall, put washer's around them to make the strut bar bracket's sit a little higher then bolt em up.

i saw PSC's Beta LC have a strut bar and i could've sworn they fitted a strut bar with no problemo.
