MX3 strut bar

[gogetrzx2]

will the mx3 strut brace/bar fit the zx2?

[Apex]

Yes, the front strut bar will, although the coolant reservoir may have to be moved.

[tre2000zx2]

front will workl, may have to move some lines and brackets as stated ..rears will NOT

[mechtech]

I have one on right now.
A couple of common sense slight relocations of the AC clip and coolant reservoir.

how much of a difference do people get after adding this strut bar?

[ravensguildassasin]

i have one on right now... but why would you need to relocate anything??? i mean it is a direct bolt on since we have the same frame.

[mechtech]

Do we have the same under hood components? Is it identical under there?

On initiation of hard turns, you may feel a difference. There are long term benefits that attenuate the migration of the strut towers together.
Hard turns cause the outside wheel strut to go out, and bumps cause the strut tops to go in.

no mech we dont but i have never seen a reason to move anything for the bar was my point.... they are a direct bolt on part unless you are taking the nuts off. i just put mine on over the strut nuts and put new ones on top.

[zx2vt]

Which way is better... To install on top of the strut tower nuts OR below them?

[mechtech]

How can you put it on if you don't take the nuts off?

[zx2vt]

I've seen them installed on top of the nuts, with a second set of nuts to mount the bar. It sounds like this is how ravensguildassasin installed his.

[ravensguildassasin]

yeah thats how i have mine. mine is a strait bar not raised in the center like most. that is why i did it the way i did.
