How does it fit the 2.0? Does it touch any of the cables or hoses? I’ve read that some bars touch and burn through when the engine bay heats up.

I’m still debating if I should continue to wait for the tanabe bar that’s been on back Order for almost 2 months or just order this strut bar...
never heard that... it doesn't touch anything, maybe negative terminal a bit, but can be easily fixed, it fits 2.0 perfectly! and price was good, just $90 on ebay and 3 day shipping...

Anyone know if there is a difference in the coupe/sedan & hatch? Seller says it only fits coupe and sedan. Is there really a difference to make it not fit the hatch?

It is man...im pulling my hair out just tryjng to pick a damn intake and strut bar. Guess I feel more comfortable seeing a hatch ex with stuff that way I know it'll fit. Just crazy how confusing this is because some say the engines are the same in the sedan/coupe/hatch/si other than the 1.5/2.0. Type R IS different I've read alot so I get that. Just tryjng to figure out why sellers are saying the hatch engine bay is different than the sedan or coupe. Maybe someone can explain to me.

Edit: chatting with the eBay seller, he tells me supposedly the mounting points are different on the hatch :rolleyes:

See if the strut tower bar from ultra racing fits them all but the CTR. That’s a one piece bar and if they say it fits , then this bar will .

The difference is the length of the top hat bolts for hatch are longer to accomadate for the factory top plate that is exclusive to hatch
