Default Greddy Strut Bar (or any) with engine damper?

I was wondering if anyone had a strut bar installed with an engine damper. The reason why I ask is because anyone with the WR Engine Damper knows that it goes over 2 of the strut bolts....

Do you just put the bar over the damper all uneven like that?

Also, there were some spacers/washers or something that came with my Greddy Strut Bar (Front). Anyone know how these are used & what about with an engine damper?

Thanks

Ive been using the Tanabe bar with Waepon R damper and I just installed the damper bracket over the top of the strut bar bracket with no problems.

DC bar clears fine. Just put washers under the strut bar on the non-damper side to keep the bar level (and untweaked).

you think the same/equal spacing would be required/suggested on the right side too?

The upper bracket for the damper mounts to the 2 inner strut bolts (the same two bolts the strut bar bolts to), so those are raised already. You just need to add washer(s) of similar thickness to the two inner bolts on the other side to even things out.

The Greddy uses all three strut bolts. I'm going to have to go to remove the bracket and measure it up to some washers. After buying enough for all 4 strut bolts (3 + 1), then put the strut bar on. :\

I was aiming for "duh question of duh day" with my last post
