strut bar differences???

[IALuder]

ok, i notice that strut bars are different for vtec and si/s models. why?

i want to buy an upper strut bar, and own a Si h23a1. i also am planning on swapping to vtec. so which bar should i buy?

well... the heads on a h23 and a h22(h22 sits higher i think) sit a little different and the oil cap on a h22 will fit under the h23 strut bar, but it covers it so you have to remove the bar every time you want to change/add oil. the h22 bar dosnt go over the oil cap.

hope that makes sence

oh i see. so should i buy the h22 strut bar even tho im a Si?

[ChrisCantSkate]

if you plan on having a h22 or h22 head in there, then yes i would
