just installed my front strut bar and i have a problem. Right at the MIDDLE BOTTOM portion of the strut bar, it is hitting a part of the intake manifold about the size of a button. when the idle drops you can hear them hitting each other or vibrating. i am positive its that part cuz after installing the black brackets i noticed the bar sitting right on top of the manifold and when i took the bar off and turned it over the bar was all scratched on that middle part.
i have 2 ideas but would want to ask if it's ok or not to do so.
1. i will use a file to file down that "button" sized portion of the intake manifold. to give them space, or
2. use 3 washers on each side to make the black plate go up a bit.
i am kinda inclining towards filing down the intake manifold cuz i really dont think i would need to file it down a lot. will try to get some pictures.
