I know a lot of people will be coming into this thread to see what I mean by the S13/S14/Who Knows part of my title, so I will start off with that, to get it out of the way.
I ordered the Strut Bar a while back, for my S13, to replace the EGay one that was installed on my 240, when I originally bought it. When I received the package, everything was fine and dandy, Box had a TRUST Shipping mark, Labels read as followed: "GReddy PS13 F" & "14023007N PS13 Strut Tower Bar F-OS" and I was like sweet, no problems. Well when the time came, that I actually got the chance to install, there was a problem...
I un-installed the EGay Strut Bar and opened up the Box and started the process of sliding on the Greddy Strut Bar. Well, I slid one side into the holes and it set the bar on a sharp upward angle, away from the mounting points on the other side. In order for me to have any chance of getting the bar installed on the other side, I would have had to bend the bar.
I thought the worst and assumed my chassis was tweaked, even though everything checked out clean. I went over to my friend Paul's house and we checked it out, he thought the same. Well my friend Mark's S13 was at the house as well, so we tried it on his.... same effect. What do you know... Paul has an S14, so we tried it on his. He has a Cusco already installed, so we just lied it on top of the Cusco and the mounting points & Holes lined up on his.
Conclusion: Even though the Packaging says PS13, I have myself a S14 Greddy Front Strut Bar. Since packaging and everything states S13, there wasn't a chance to return, because I was sent the "correct item".
Product Description: Brand New in original Box, [Apparent] S14 Strut Bar, which may fit S13 with some modification.
I am getting no luck taking pictures of the Bar/Box/Labels with the lighting in my room/reflection of the flash, so they will have to wait till later on Sunday. This will also give me the oppertunity to get some shot of what i'm talking about with the mounting points not lining up and see if I can get with Paul to take some shots on his S14. He has work tomorrow and may not be home before dark... Hes not driving his S14 because of bad Compression in #3, Fu*ked up Tranny & a little Drift Accident on top of that, so hes not driving it, and I can't just stop into work and test it out.
PM with interest, pics will be up Sunday, as mentioned. I accept Paypal & fees will have to be paid for by the buyer. Seeing that it is brand new, never installed, still have box, still have packaging, I will not be taking much off..... $120.00 Shipped, $125.00 to Cali... I suppose OBO.
