I have seen a few of them some Z cars before. I guess they do what they are intended to do. I m going to wait and get the Okuyama/ Carbing Strut bars.
My only concern with those bars is interference. Do they clear the hood with out having to remove the fabric from the hood?

OTTO Racing Strut Tower Bars
I bought these from ProCarParts via Ebay a while ago. You have to do some modifications inside the engine compartment to install the front strut tower bar. It does make contact with the insulation on the inside of the hood, but no big deal. The rear strut tower bar is a real pain to install. I have a 2+2. I don't know if it would be any easier to install in a coupe or not, but I doubt it. You need to replace the fuel lines to make them a little longer on the driver side, bend the pwr. steering res. bracket some, and grind off one support on the passanger side. For some reason, this post won't let me attach pictures for you. I will try again
I still can't attach any pics of my installation. If you are interested, PM me with your email and I will send them to you.
BTW - I didn't have the same problems that are listed in the next post. Rear was a real pain to install, but definitely worth it!

Here is a thread that I started when I installed my OTTO Racing strut bars. If the picture feature starts working again on this site, you'll see the pics that I was talking about.
