I search and came apon this
thread. I am still not sure if the vibrant front strut tower brace will fit on my 03 Cavy. I am currently running the stock airbox. With plans to get an aftermarket CAI soon. I do not have cruise controll. From the picture in the thread above, reposted below, it does not look like I need to relocate the PCM. Do I really have to relocate the PCM?
photo is from Fyrtowr.

I don't have mine relocated on my 2003 Sunfire.
<br>
Thanks, seems to fit fine on the Sunfires. Has anyone not had to relocate the PCM on the Cavaliers?
<br>
Don't have to relocated from seeing that pic.
But if you notice, the bar is resting on the module.
And is actually sloping at an angle down to the other end.
So you may want to relocate your PCM.
Just bend the bracket down or move it to another bolt.

Remember....syringes go in the RED waste basket.
Pic is from the sunfire again, more worried about the Cavalier application.
I think the picture and the compression make it seem angeled

I have vibrant front a near on my 04 cavi, no problems with fitment, it will hit he computer right there but you can push it down by hand enough to vbend the bracket enough to make it fit over, it will still be touching but the bar will lay flat and fit fine, only down side is you ahve to adjust the bar off the car cause you can't spin the bar while its touching the computer right there <br>
Darkstars - Thanks! I will be ordering my bars now. <br>
Mine fits fine on my 04. Just like darkstars. I got the rear one too. Not fun to put in though. <br>

the way you bend the bracket is you take out your computer, then do cpr on the bracket.
it will lower, it is secured from a few mounting points so you cant just bend down with plyers you need pressure on multiple points to get it to bend uniformaly, so give it cpr and it will work just fine.
i have a 02 cavalier, no issues other then the life of my computer saved by my fast life saving skills.

it is too damn soft, it bends easily
New Picture comming this summer.
Just ordered a set from Jim at Gravana yesterday, can't wait to get them in, anyone notice a difference who is lowered?
i just cut a slit in the bracket and bent it down.. worked like a charm!
Got mine installed, the front one does not fit
Rear makes a little difference in sharp turns at low speed, the turning feels like it has tightened up a little.
Still waiting to find out whats going on with the front, Vibrant apparently sent out the wrong size.
