Default Engine Damper, Interfering with Strut bar?

Hey guys I tried searching but couldnt pull anything up.

Ive had my eye on an Engine Damper now for a while, as well as a Strut bar and I noticed something I am not sure if anyone else has.

I noticed that the Engine Dampers, have a mounting location of the " left side strut tower" ... Now as we all know a strut bar will be mounted on both the left and the rigth side strut towers as it crosses the engine.

PROBLEM : Being the Engine damper, and the Strut bar will both be on the left side. and mount over the threads that come out of the shocks... Will there be enough thread on those screws to successfully mount both pieces?

hope you guys understand, here are pics for reference :

you may have problems withthe bracket that supports the fuse box. Ask Ben (s2kpuddydad) about his fix.

probably the relocation or removal of that bracket. I have heard several people mention that got in their way.


I say go for a wire tuck engine bay and get rid of the battery and fuse box and ac lines.. JK

yea I got the spoon ETD when it was first released. One of the fuse box brackets must be cut off in order for it to fit. I recommend getting the spoon strut bar as well since it shares the same bracket.
