Default Hawkeye Strut Brace Fitting :-(

Hi,

Might have been asked before on here, but cant find anything?

Righty ho. Looking for a strut brace that will fit a Hawkeye with no modifications.

Had the old one from my blobeye, but it wont fit due to pipework on the passenger side of the engine. Rang one or two places and they have suggested moving this and unbolting that etc.

Im not really keen on all that, any suggestions? Have seen some cars with them on and the pipework looks the same? Think they may have been official ones though like on the spec c etc.

Surely someone must so one thats a straight in fit?

Anyone help? Ta

You can bend the pipe out of the way? That's what RCM did on my Wrx

My technician fitted the brace from my blobeye to the Spec D fairly easily - just moved a bracket marginally from what I remember

Pretty sure there isn't a front strut brace that'll fit the Hawkeye, without the slight modification to the AC pipe bracket!

I've got the STi carbon alloy brace, only had to slightly bend the bracket down maybe 1 inch.
