Spohn coilovers and strut tower bar
My Jamex 2-point stb should be coming in the mail one of these next few days and I was thinking about it will work with spohn's coilovers and the plate that's going to be used in the top of the strut towers.
Will I be able to use my STB and then install Spohn's coilovers, or should I wait to install the STB until the coilovers are out and I buy a set? I'm just concerned with any compatibility/fitment issues.

From the looks of it no.
Steve makes parts to fit a stock car. IF you change it to something other than stock It is up to you to modify the part to fit whatever you have.
Easy solution is to mark where you have the bolts coming though the strut tower and then drill a hole corosponding to the bolt that is a lil bigger than the head of the bolt. Thats what I'll end up doing on my RS when I get arround to making it a coil over setup later this year.

I wish I new when they were coming out. I'd make that part of my buying spree...
Hawks already has all the information on their website about them... so can't be too long I wouldn't think...

kat already said it...
its pushing it to expect aftermarket parts to fit perfectly with your STOCK car... once you have a modified car, you might as well break out the drills, saws and welder when the parts arrive...

Not a big deal, I was just curious as to whether it would work. I don't mind drilling more holes since I'll have to drill some to mount the STB anyways. Now I'm awaiting those coilovers to be released and hope someones "word-of-the-mouth" $250 price is about right.

That looks like a more complete kit. What are the spring diameters? The reason I was going to choose the Art Morrisons over the pro-fabs, is that the art morrison's are 3" vs the pro-fabs 2 1/2.
What is the price going to be?
