Default spacers TRD strut bar

Ok guys... I know I'm asking for it but I searched everyone HONEST! and I can't seem to find a straight up answer on making the TRD bar clear the motor with stock suspension. I have it on the car, but when you hit the gas hard the motor rattles the bar hard and it gets real loud! Spacers sound good but the nut is about to fall off the strut stud as it is. HELP

...It's described as a reinforcement when you purchase from the dealer..They are about 16 dollars each...You'll need exactly 2 extra reinforcements on each side which includes your stock reinforcement...I can't dig up the part number right now but, I'll try to search for it...

BTW, I hope you know that these "spacers" are intended for longer strut studs....Your OEM ones will not cut it since the bolt will not thread all the way in....Do it at your own risk....

A Cusco flat-oval Supra model strut bar will fit if you mount it with the ends switched around and take the "L" off the top of your motor.

Sweet, how does the L come off? Just pry it? Glued? Thanks!
