well i got my gt srtut brace in a few days ago, and i finally got a chance to install it today. the only problem is that it wont fit. am i doing something wrong? i thought you just take off the bolts from the strut, then place the brace over it, then put the bolts back on and put some bolts to connect it to the firewall. when i tried installing it, it was only able to fit to one of the struts. it seems like the brace is to long or something. because when i try to install the brace to the other strut there isnt enough slack because the bar keeps on hitting the firewall. any help would be appretiated. thanx u guys.

thanx for all te help u guys. i was trying to figure out why the strut brace wouldnt fit, and upon further inspection i noticed that the strut on the driver side had different welds on it then compared to the welds on the passenger side. my car is salvaged so im not reallu surprised that this happened. my guess is that the previous owner got in an accident that involved the driverside of the car smashing into somehthing. and the person who had fixed the car didnt really allign the everything as well as the factory does it. o well, thanx again u guys
