My Iroc did not come with the wonderbar steering brace. So i decided to finally order one fabricated by spohn performance.. and it does not fit. When i got to bolt it up, it runs into the bottom of the dual fan setup before it can be lined up to bolt up. Anyone else have a steering brace from spohn.net or could i see what the stock wonderbars look like? Thanks

Are you mounting it on the underside of the car, or inside the engine bay? It should be mounted underneath the car, basically just above the sway bar.

I was just happy to see that my wonderbar doesn't fit with the Spohn front sway bar.... Possibly why they made their own. They should market the two items together. just a thought!

Like the guy above said, hopefully you're mounting it correctly, under the car, in between the sway bar and frame... goodluck

LOL.. you guys have to give me more credit than that.. i knew where it bolted.. i loosend the endlinks.. unbolted the sway bar bushing.. and dropped the sway bar down.. and went to fit it up there and the front of the wonderbar hits the bottom of the dual fans. See in Zepher's first pic where the bottom of the fans are bolted down about 1/4-1/2 inch from the bar.. the spohn wonderbar runs right into them before it is forward enough to line up with the holes for the sway bar bushings. If i had a camera i would take a pic of it.

Sohn said he knew what it would take.. he said they just grinded down the fan hold until it fit.. interesting.. oh well.
