    Make an adapter plate to adapt the strut bar to your needs.

    Re: strut bar dont fit

    be very careful if/when returning the bar to arospeed.. I ordered a bar a few months ago, right before someone pointed out that others had bought the bar and it didnt fit. i tried cancelling the order but it was shipped anyways, and then once it was shipped back I had to end up having my bank refund me the money. Arospeed claimed since i didnt have some "return authorization number" that they couldn't do anything for me

    Re: strut bar dont fit

    that has been posted million times. contact the people you bought it from and complain that it doesn't fit.
    did you get it from ebay? complain to them and if they refuse to accept the return, complain to ebay.
