    If your car has mildly stock suspension as far as rates and upgrades, yeah you'll feel a difference.
    If it's pretty modified and refreshed thoroughly, no not much difference.

      exactly.

      and if youre trying to fine tune your track suspension they will eliminate any extra flex making spring rate calculations easier

        I would say yes. My shock tower is out of alignment, don't know why since it has never been in a crash. I can only assume from the sticky tires and harsh ride I have. But I think to keep your car strait and true they are worth it.

            Yes, Get one! I felt a noticeable difference once installed. Front of the vert felt more planted and suspension firmed up.

            Also, If you plan on running camber plates as many do consider the Sparco Strut Bar and not others as it allows the camber plates (Ground Control , Vorhslag , etc) to be installed as well as the strut bar. This is not the case with all strut bars.

              If you plan to buy one, check out the Ireland Engineering bar. They're local so you could pick up too.
