battle endless v-strut bar question

the current mod i have in my r18 is a K&N intake and obcourse with the heatshield.

now my question is, if i install the v-strut bar from battle endless; would the heatshield or the intake be blocking the bar?

Take a look...

Here is a picture from Battle Endless of the "V" tower strut brace installed for 06-07 FG Civic. Looks like no mods were made to install. If you still have any questions, their email address is on the site. Here is the catalog picture. http://www.beperformance.com/fglarge...=bersImages&k=

Getting the cart before the horse !!!

Having posted the "V" tower strut brace comment, I did not give you my opinion about improving your handling. The "V" bar is the last thing you should purchase. IMO...This is the order in which should build your suspension for the best results. (1) 17" lite weight wheels with quatily 225/40-17 tires (Bridgestone, Goodyear, etc.). (2) Progress rear saw bar with Si mounting brackets (until Highvrev1 has his ready for purchase). (3) Adjustable (dampening and ride height0 coilover system and front/rear camber kits with professional alignment. (4) Under frame bracing, tie bars and "H" brace. (5) Strut tower brace.
