Torque Damper and Strut Brace

[SlightlySublime]

Sorry in advance if there is a topic on this, i searched and found nothing, not to much info on any website for that matter. i plan on using the ingalls torque damper on a usdm 96-98 hatch stock d16y7. My question is, is it possible to be used with a three-point strut brace? Both being a very cost effective mod, i would love to add both rather one or the other. again sorry if this is a topic that has been beaten to death. Or is there any mods i would have to do to make both parts work safely together?

no reason why both cant be used together. torque dampers usually bolt to an engine mount and to the side of the strut tower. 3 point strut braces bolt to the top of the shock towers and the bulkhead...

thanks for the reply, but i remember reading somewhere that it connected to the same area or something needing a longer lug to fit both, or you would have to grind down the damper to fit with the strut. maybe it was a different gen car? if what you say is true, i am a very happy camper

heres a bad pic of my damper

there is a brackets that bolts onto the engine mount (on the right of the pic) and the other bracket uses the bolt of the upper control arm.

as i said before 3 point strut braces (usually) bolt to the top of the shock towers and the bulkhead...
