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 an 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".

That is what I thought too, Fronts are the same, but the rears are different. That is why I stated assumed S14, with possibility for S13. I just need to sell this thing, its been sitting for some time, and I couldnt repost due to comp problems.

Thanks for the GLWS though!!

how hard would it be to just persuade the bar to fit? it doesnt look that far off. if you got it bolted down i'm sure it would be fine.

Grain, I can't say for sure; I didn't want to take the chance, I suppose... As I said, it may fit with "Minor Modification"....

You sure your chasis isn't twisted? I mean for greddy to make something as simple as a strut bar and have it not fit seems a little peculiar. How was getting the ebay strut bar off?

Boomers, sorry but I never received your PM, I just double checked, and have only gotten one from S14Tiger, concerning the Strut Bar, so I apologize. I haven't used my paypal since November and have to update my security options I guess, which I am doing now. Please PM again with your information. Carbon, if it is available Friday, I will notify you.
