      was pushing with 215 azzenis like you got. Although at the track they rarely pushed(before strut bar) so there may have been some gravel involved on the street. And looking at your pic of car your suspension looks better then mine so i probably wasn't pulling the same G's as you except in some downhill turns maybe. My point is im sure i drive the car hard enough that a strut bar couldn't hurt.

        It doesn't take much to scrub your front tires. Get a G-Tech and get some real numbers.

          I just still think that the stresses that make strut bars a benefit would snap those welds/ that design

                        home made strut bar

                        I admire your efforts and the do it your self reliance - good stuff keep going it gets easier and better
                        the easiest thing is to sit in the chair and censure a mans work
                        the hardest part is to actually DO IT and make something with your own hands
                        go for it the more you do it the better the results, I have been fabricating for over 50 years and still am learning how to make good parts
                        come to SIMI CA. and work for me, I need helpers with your kind of intelligence and ambition
                        early on I had the good fortune to work with the best of the best CAN AM & INDY car teams and learned from them
