Anybody has a front strutbar in STI 07? - Page 2

STI Nicholas · 12-27-2007, 03:52 PM

I have the SPT front Strut tower brace in my 06 STI and it is the only bar worth getting for 06 & 07 STIs. First, it was made to fit 06 & 07 STIs, no bending of the A/C line necessary. Almost every other bar on the market requires bending (except the Whiteline bar) because they did not engineer them to fit the 06 & 07 STIs. Second, the SPT is one piece so it will not flex like the hinged bars.

Tein does not require bending; only slight relocation with factory hardware. See above...

yea the spt is the best one i've saw yet that is what i have and i love it , you can see how much more nicer it is by the way it is made, by the gussets and no little bolts holding it together... but go for the spt....

i have the TEIN front/rear strut bars on my 07 STi

Front fits without any fitment issues, or modifications at all..it even came with a new bracket for the AC line i believe, but i didnt need to use it

The SPT bar comes with everything you need to deal with a/c lines, but what is even better is to remove the entire a/c system. This eliminates a lot of clutter and dead weight, and increases airflow to the radiator.

Yes, due to the location of the strut towers in relation to the firewall the rear is a better choice for performance. The front is mostly for aesthetics, IMO. A front strut bar is way more useful on say an S2000.

Depends on what other suspension mods you have done^^.
