I don't think you'll see any performance gain from an STB (although they look damn nice, don't they.)

AEM's updated CAI (they just finished the engineering work) will clear Spoon STB.

Cusco Strut Bar clears fine! with 2-3mm to spare!
So I even stuck some sponge tape underneath to avoid rubbing issues...

yeah i know this is an old thread but i found it after a search and instead of starting a new on i figured i would bump this one up again.

do strut bars really make a noticeable differance in your experiance? i have been reading about them and i have heard many people say that they dont make much differance in our car. what do you think?

My Spoon STB clears my AEM but its a very, very tight fit. I used a tiny piece of double-sided tape as cushion, in case of rubbing.

You should probably get a car that actually has struts ...
