Alright so this is sort of me venting a little bit, but also informative. I recently purchase the omp overhead strut bar and may i say it is the best strut brace on the market. I also recently bought the VIP engine damper (much needed) and it too is a great part to get. HOWEVER you can not have both, due to the VIP engine damper plate, once it is installed the omp strut bar does not have room to be re installed. very depressing for me when i saw that. they should put a warning on vip's site saying doesnt work with omp bar. just my luck. hope this helps yall if you planned on doing this as well. guess i will have to get m7's strut bar. blah

 

care to sell your OMP bar?!... i have some sh**y ebay one. got it for like $40. shoulda knowed. its thin aluminum, i can bend it easily. dont really think its doing diddly, except it looks "cool", and even then thats a stretch! lol.

 

sorry, going to give to my dad for a x.mas gift. he has an 06 jcw.

 

Sorry for my ignorance but OMP isn't VIP correct?

 

VIP makes a good engine damper and OMP overhead strut bar is IMO the best overhead strut bar, due to how its designed.

If you go with M7 or VIP brace your bonnett might prsh up a bit in the back. (if you still have the underhood insulation)

 

Alright, thanks for the insight
