Any luck making a version that clears a maggie or a whipple style super charger?

It will eventually happen, we just have so many other projects going already with higher priorities. We have a TVS on our own company car so we can't even run one of our own strut tower braces until we build one.

My girl got me this for Christmas, but I have yet to install it because I couldnt get my strut tower bolts off without a impact wrench

Im hoping to get it done within the next couple days!

I want to get some sway bars to install at the same time too, then im sure I would REALLY feel a difference!

Let us know how the install goes for you and give us a call when you are ready for those sway bars.

Has anyone used anything else other than an impact wrench to get the bolts off? If I turn them with a rachet, it just keeps turning the struts

You can use a T50 Torx bit to hold the shock shaft while you loosen the nut. It's not as easy as an impact but it is a little safer. I have seen people twist off the top of the shaft using an impact if your not careful.

Has the strut bar been tested with adjustable coil overs such as the Pedders XA's ?? Any issues with adjusting the strut dampening withe BMR supplied billet aluminum strut retainers ( black circular parts with 1/2 round cutouts ) ???

We have a customer that has BC Racing coli-overs with our BMR strut tower brace and you are still able to get to the adjuster on them easily and make adjustents. If you want shoot me a picture of the top of your Pedders coil-overs in the engine bay and I can let you know whether it will work or not.
