Default Strut Bar Question

Hello! Been surfing the threads and I have been reading about the strut bars that you buy on Ebay are decent enough to do the work for daily driving. My question for my first post is: If installed, would it hit my cold air intake? I have seen one picture here (green civic) - but it looked like the AEM intake is touching the Megan Strut Bars.

I would like to hear from anyone out there or maybe post your pix so I can get an idea. And, also what can you recommend?

\Thank You in Advance!

which cai do you have? I have the megan racing bars, and used to have an AEM CAI, and it never touched. Hope that helps

I guess it is the Neuspeed or DC Sports for you then! At least for front upper.. get an ebay one for the rear.

Hello Folks! The guys at my area stated that there are no Strut Tower bar that would fit my engine with the Cold Air Intake. I researched and found this picture on the net. The problem - - This looks exactly my engine, except for the VTEC. and the brace would definitely do the job. --- I can't find this anywhere. Does anyone know what model this is or what's the name of it. Its not on the DC's website. I got the picture from streetsports and thought maybe one of us knows this model/




In Case it does not show, here's the link.
