Hi all! Today, I installed a front strut bar Ultra Racing on my 507.
But, steel hose touches a strut bar.
Anybody have this problem? What to do?

Push it down so it's bent out of the way. I wouldn't drive it like that for long. You'll rub through that braided line or your strut bar.

That looks like it's just an air conditioning line. I'd wrap the line/fitting in some tape or put a padded sleeve around it. That hose doesn't get hot.
I also had my Ultra Racing underbody braces installed this week. Massive difference in body stiffness. Most bars replaced ones which were already under there but were undersized. I'll take some comparison pics when I get back home. All braces bolted right up without any problem - MBH headers slant towards the back of the car more than the MHP/AR headers do.

I had a set of Autoexe under chassis braces for my RX-7 years ago and they also made a big difference in chassis stiffness. Most easily noticed going up driveways

On your car this hose touches a bar too?

Thanks! 
Today ordered Rear Strut Brace Ultra Racing in the trunk. More questions will be how to cut carpet trunk cover? 
And I think to paint this braces in the color of my car.

Nope. They replace flimsy thin bars already there, so there are bolts already in place.

BLKROKT, can you take a photo of how close the Ultra Racing bar comes to the OEM Airbox?
I've ordered the BOCA CF Large Capacity Airboxes, they're taller than OEM, they say by 10MM.
Not sure if it'll fit, that's why.

Sorry can't help you there. The only bars I have are all of the underbody. I skipped the struts, and have no plans to get them. And I don't have OEM air boxes.
With that said, I'd bet that they fit perfectly. I haven't had a single issue so far, and the pieces are very well constructed. The photos above seem to show clearance is fine.
Just ordered their new rear lower control arm brace as well.
