the question is simply what the title asks. I'm still running the f22a1 and planning to get strut tower bars for Christmas or soon after. What I want to know is; The wires by the upper front strut towers look they are going to be in the way of a direct bolt in for the tower bar. Do they typically need to be moved (relocated) and if so where is the spot where these wires (and connecters) usually find their new home. I wouldn't mind the neater appearance of said wires being moved some anyway, and again I'm planning on doing the strut tower bars for Christmas. I'm trying to get a head start, so I can just bolt in the tower bars when I get them.

The only ones I felt like I had to do something to was on the passenger side front strut tower. my brace was rubbing up against the 3 harnesses with the orange clips. I honestly dont know what they are for, but I just removed the bracket those 3 are clipped into so they aren't being forced up against the the bracket.
I removed another useless bracket on the driver side that prevented me from bolting on that brace. I'll take pictures in a little bit

I used to have the Neuspeed bar as well. I believe I had to scoot some of the shock tower wires over just a bit...nothing major.
I'm getting a cb7 again soon, does anyone know if they still make the Neuspeed bars? It was an excellent piece. Strong and light.There are no black and white suspension answers!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm thinking I'll get this one I know it cheaP but I don't like asking my parents for anything expensive. They have helped me more than enough you know... Assuming this is the bar they end up getting me (if they don't get me an off the wall gift) do y'all think I will need to move wire?Here's what I'm working with tell me what you think.

The hinges on the eBay one you posted allow a good deal of flex still, maybe find a solid one like the Neuspeed... Unless you just want it for looks, then go for it.1993 SE Coupe MRT - 1992 LX Sedan MRT

The ebay style of strut tower bar allows a twisting movement easier than the neuspeed style, but I think it is about as strong in bending.
An advantage of the ebay style is that you can increase the preload.
If someone made a strut bar with round aluminum tube with 4 attachment points like the Neuspeed bar, but then had a threaded turnbuckle in the middle for preload adjustment, that would be ideal. Maybe someone should do it. I'd buy one......There are no black and white suspension answers!!!!!!!!!!!
