I think they are all the same. I would bet your rear or front motor mount is bad. Do you get any vibration/chatter when letting your clutch out? pop the hood and rev the engine and watch for movement. There shouldnt be much. If it comes really close to hitting the strut bar, then the motor mounts are the problem. In fact, check all the mounts. A bad tranny mount will cause excessive movement when the car is moving.

the thing is that DC probably didnt design the bar around the engine. The 420a and 4g63T has alot of different clearence issues. Like for instance, our timing cover on the 4g63, fucking huge! thats why theres the bump in the hood, and that why RRE made that side of the bar higher. ALso the brace in the hood comes close and thats why that side of the bar is flat. Its asll clearence. DC probably could of made that bar on a 4g63t and thought the non turbos are same engine but no turbo so they said it'll be fine. But my best guess is the motormounts.

DC makes two different bars Sam. One is for the turbo cars and the other is for the non-turbo. Justin has the turbo one on his car so he can probably answer your question Jaimer.

dc front bar the CS2 version is only in the back for the turbo cars. the front is a CS1.
justin and i have the same bar and it is rock solid. please note that if there were any other bar on this model it would interfere with the shock adjustment. if someone can tell me how to post a picture I will have it up quite quick.

i stand corrected. But the motormount is a definite possibility.

They are designed differently for clearance issues, people have put the NT one on a turbo and it touched the positive battery terminal and started a fire.
Here is the turbo version on my car

I found this website where they sell this exact DC tower for $89 plus shipping. Unlike the $110 shown in the other website.
But if u fwd search to the 10th page after typing in (eclipse) on the search, there is a tower bar for turbo & NT (90-99) for only $23 !!!!!!
