Front Strut Bar and Engine Torque Damper

[ChrisEP3]

Just wondering if a torque damper and a front strut brace will fit onto the strut bolts

I have a japspeeds front brace already, but want to fit a etd

Doesn't seem a lot of room left on the strut bolts for the etd plate to be sandwiched in

Does anyone have any experience with struts and etd?

I know you can get the js racing pair but want to keep japspeeds brace ideally

Bump

Anyone?

would you not prefer energy inserts??
does the same job 1000 times better

 

[ChrisEP3]

My mates had both

He said the inserts caused more rattling in general, where as the etd only made an occasional rattle when the engine tried to really rock

Plus I can fit etd without needing to go to a garage

 

[Ash4Lotte]

fair enough, well i fitted my inserts, it wasn't that hard although a lot more involving than the etd, i've also had both and with my car it seemed the other way round etd rattled a lot especially with low revs and my inserts (i have both on) really aren't as rattly as what everyone makes out to be

but etd was really effective

 

[ChrisEP3]

Eventually I will get the inserts, etd is something I can fit and take off if I change my mind

They seem to sell 2nd hand pretty fast, never seem to see them last long enough to send a pm!

lol, yea well i did the same, went for the etd first, theres normally a few on ebay that turn up every 2 weeks (theres tegiwa ones for 60 quid right now)

Sorry to bump an old thread, but i was wondering if you had problems fitting the japspeed front strut brace with the air con pipe being in the way?

 

[ChrisEP3]

Fitted perfectly

 

[Aaron87]

Sweet! I'm bidding on one on eBay at the moment and wanted to make sure it would actually fit with the pipes being there.

Cheers!
