Which FSTB clears the AC bracket the best!?
I had the Cusco Oval shaped bar for awhile but snapped my AC bracket trying to bend it.. it must have been a faulty brace with an airpocket in it.

So with that said i want to know of one that clears the AC line and Bracket the best. Just from looks it looks like the STi versions clear the best. So what one do you guys recommend?

thanks, eric

I think Whiteline has a Front Strut bar to clear the A/C lines.

edit: KSB599 is the whiteline part#, there's a thread on nasioc about it, not much other info anywhere

The STi bars will clear the AC lines of course, provided you keep the stock or STi top mount. The Whiteline should fit, and some fo the cheap generic eBay ones will fit, but don't ask me which ones.

Wait the brace snapped? Or was it the AC bracket?

Did the AC bracket push against the brace and eventually snap it? I don't get it? and since I have a cusco OS front bar I would just like to know if I should be worried or cursing right now

Yes and No. the brace did snap the AC bracket but it was because the bracket was faulty.. When i looked at the snap it happened because the braket had a bubble in it.

you're fine if you have the bar on w/o problems
