Hi,

I just got in the Stack Racing Strut Brace off AM, and run into some issues. I know with the 07 there's the Coil Pack issue and I added the washers but it seems it still wont clear the coil pack. Just wondering if you installed a strut brace and how many washers you used or was there another method such as moving the coil pack you used to resolve the clearence problem?

Thanks

i almost had the same problems you are having. but i have a 00 V6. i also brought the stack racing strut brace and had to add like 3 washers to rise it up away from the engine. and two to bring it out forward for the cruise control cable it was hitting. its a pain in the behind. it took me like all day by myself to get this to work.
how many washers are you using for the ea of the sides? just try using a 3 or 4 of them and check if that would work. give it a shot . :headbang:

Hopefully this huricanne will cool things down, I wanted to try your advice but spent 10 minutes outside dropping off my other car to the shop and I think I reinforced my tan. So I skipped working on it today which bummed me out. Also got the Shelby GT500 pedals I been looking foward to installing and love to have it ready for the weekend.

bkstang2000, your a life saver.

Honestly I was skeptical at first putting on 3 washers but it worked, just got the right clearance and enough threading to secure the brace. Didn't get a chance to get the pedals on but then that leaves something to do later. Once again thanks!

Really gave it a good run on LAbor Day. Took a little road trip around LI spent a good 3 1/2 hrs driving got in a mix of speeds and roads. Gotta say I'm really liking the brace really firms up the front. Best part, coil wire didn't come lose!
