Default Need Help On Finding A Front Strut Bar.

I already have a Neuspeed tie bar but am looking fur s strut bar that has the 3 points. Please let me know who sells them and where I can buy them at. Are they better at handling than a regular strut bar or is it mostly just for show?

Got this pic from the appearance forum, pics taken by roaring-turtle (he has mad skills with a camera!)





Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the help guys, at least I know the name CARBING. Could anybody tell me where I could pick one up or selling one themselves (please post links if possible)? Is it more effective than the regular 2 point bar?

http://www.passwordjdm.com sells the carbing 3 point strut bar. And yes it will positively affect performance as compared to a 2 point bar.

I've seen the same Carbing setup, but someone in the forum has their OEM strut bar still attached.. Would it make a difference with the additional bar?

I know this is off topic but if you get the 3 pt strut and you go autocross where would that put me in class? Right now just got teins, 22mm rear sway, and i/e.
Sorry for the off topic question.
Thanks in advance.

How is that possible. Does the 3point Strut bar make a huge difference. I am using the ITR strut bar right now. If it isnt much better, then I'll stick with my ITR Strut Bar.

Keep in mind the best place to brace our shock towers is at the upper control arm bolts NOT the shock hat bolts.

Under heavy acceleration, the upper control arms recieve almost all of the lateral force, so if the tower is going to flex somewhere its going to be from the UCA mounting points.

The neuspeed 4 point, and the JG are the best choices in my book. The JG actually braces the UCA, the stock top of the shock tower, and the firewall.

Can't we have one that does both? I have a stock gsr bar with another bar that handles both strut tops and UCA.
