jimmy.farrow7 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Just a quick one, i have a summit strut brace and it fits tight against the plenum, has anyone fitted a spacer to there strut brace or have any idea what could be used to give a few MM clearance, also may want to fit a plenum spacer in the future so will either need clearance or find a new brace or no spacer!.

Floydbax Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Most spacer kits come with all hardware needed to fit including larger washers/spacers and longer bolts for the strut brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy.farrow7 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I did think about washers, cheers for the help bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbax Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 LoL ... Jimmy, I meant that when you get a plenum spacer it comes with all the necessary fittings, including some fat/thick washers for the strut brace. - you need to get one ... they work, Wasso's the guy on here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I found mine touched the plenum also and thats with a plenum spacer and spacers for the strut to accommodate the plenum spacer. I didn't have the car long enough after all this was fitted to do anything about it, but I'd be looking to add another 5mm of spacers to each strut bolt.

jimmy.farrow7 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Mine is touching the plenum slightly now more to the right hand side than the left. I spoke to Wasso and he supplys the plenum spacer with the stuff to rise the strut brace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to Wasso and he supplys the plenum spacer with the stuff to rise the strut brace Same place mine touched. As I said, I had the spacers from Wasso and it still touched, not Wasso's fault, it's Summit's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I had the spacers from Wasso and it still touched, not Wasso's fault, it's Summit's. I had a Summit also, and it rubbed on the right hand side as well. The next issue is that if you increase the height of the Summit too much, you'll then be rubbing on the hood, which is what happened to me. You can't win Summit struts aren't very well designed to be honest. With spacer or without! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy.farrow7 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I will have to look into the space available, i like the strut brace and i would like a spacer its a lose lose. I will see what other braces are available also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
