steering and suspension Quality Strut Bars That Fit M20 Conversion?

[Taymar]

I'm looking for a strut bar and could use some advice please.

 

I've seen that tii cars need a slightly different design of strut bar to clear the intake system, and am unsure if the same applies to M20 converted cars.

 

I'm looking for a bar that'll work with an M20 swap (2002haus conversion), and that is of a sound design (I'm told pivot points are undesirable as are excess non-triangulated bends in the tubing?).

 

If it's relevant I will also be using ground control camber plates, assuming these are compatible with a strut bar.

 

Any recommendations on which vendors might have something that'll work here would be much appreciated

Here is a great article about strut bar to break all the myths.

Those mason ones look amazing. 

 

IE does have one that they market specifically for the M20 swapped car. Not sure how it compares to others as far as quality / effectiveness.

the Mason strut bars are a thing of beauty.

i have an aluminum one on my m20/2002.......i think it is his Tii model.

if i remember correctly......i had sent him some images with clearance measurements......and that

is the bar he pointed me towards.

Thanks all, looks like the Mason S14 or tii bar is the way to go. I'll get in touch with them and see if they recommend one or the other.
