Rear strut brace that doesnt fit?

[Stu_350z]

:S

Has there been any incidents before where someone has had a reat omp strut brace that doesnt fit??

literally it is too short to fit over both the metal cups on the car...too short by around 2 mm at least

any ideas??

cheers

ive had the very same problem but it wasnt with an omp one, it was as you say about 2mm too short, so i just drilled both the holes on either end of the brace a tiny bit bigger, job done

Maybe it's because you've got a cup?

Why?

not sure what the OMP brace is like but the carbon strut is adjustable so you can extend it

Why?

I don't know just a suggestion.

check the dimensions you have on the brace against what OMP state it should be to check they havent made an error! If the dims are right try jacking up one side slightly or park on the kerb and try and fit it. If its only 2mm it must be possible to squeeze it in! I'm no expert just what i would try before drilling.

thats what i would do.

Well, i wouldn't becuase rear strut braces are a complet waste of time and money, but you know what i mean
