    Strut Bars?

    Are they worth it? Not cheapo Autozone ones either. Say a Sparco or IE. Money well spent on yours or not?

        I have a Sparco on my car, but noticed no difference and wouldn't buy it again. Actually I had it on my DD for a while because I didn't want the excess weight on my track car, and my DD strut tower seams were cracking so I used it to hold the strut towers together.

          Can anybody else elaborate on this? I plan on getting a front and rear strut bar also.

              I have an IE bar on my car. It defiantley stiffened up the front of my car. In fact it caused more understeer before I upgraded the suspension from stock.

              The two biggest drawbacks I have found are:

              1. This increased noise & vibration more than any other modification I have done.

              2. My IE bar rubs against the cruise control cable. It still works fine, but I would prefer that there be no contact between the two.
