9709, are strut bars the same for turbo and nt
Posted by 97eclipseRS, May-29-02 08:53 AM
i'm about to order upper front and rear strut tower braces and they were described as being for turbo eclipses 95-99, but isn't the suspension and strut tower hardware the same on turbo and nt 2g's?

yes, but engine clearance is different. Unless someone says that specific bar will work, I'd be careful. There's plenty out there for the 2gnt. Just pick one of those to be safe.

From what I have seen, a GS-T strut bar will fit on a 2gnt, but a 2gnt bar will not work on a turbo car. Im sure there are exceptions to this.

What i heard is that all you do if flip the strut bar around or screw it on backwards and it fits. you can flip it so it don't hit the oil filler cap, mine is over it but I can slide it out ^_^

Yeah, flipmode that shit since the battery is on the opposite side in a 4G63 powered klipse!
