WEll i have both a strut tower bar and the j's racing engine dampener...

would it be safe if i put on both or are the screws to short?

I had problems with the damper but i saw some other ways in installing it, so i wanna try that...;)

thanks,

I believe if you buy there Engin e damper it only fits with the Strut they have or the Mr.Alex Strut. Because they don't use the same holes to attach.http://www.aj-racing.com/alex/other/Alex-TorqueDamper-EP3-DSCN4077.jpg

And incase your wondering why I put the Mr.Alex ones instead or the Js'Racing it's because it's the saem part because Js'Racing struts and engine damper is made by Mr.Alex. :D

In the first pic, that is a dampner for a RSX. The EP dampner comes with the bracket that bolts down using the factory strut mounts. If you have a front upper bar, just place the dampner mount over top of the bar and you'll be fine.

i had a neuspeed bar and the engine damper on at the same time. there was enough screw left to bolt them both down. ;) but then i had to worry about a lopsided strut bar. but a couple of washers on the other side to raise the bar fixed that problem. you should be alright just give it a shot.

j's racing sells a strut bar/engine damper combo. basically it is the strut bar with one side having a mount for both the strut bar and the engine damper. check out j's racing's site. if you get the alex brand you would get the bar and the rsx style mount and engine damper, then you'd have to drill. :) get whichever one you want they are both the same, expect for the mounting of course. and i believe they are both made by cusco. i read that somewhere. alex doesn't make j's stuff.
