I guess if they were cheap as some of them are then but in all honesty, the best way to go is with a pivotless bar.

You could have used that money to buy a rear swaybar and made more of a difference than all of those pieces of **** put together, but you have fun pretending your car handles better with those Enjoy.

Those strut bars are really cheap and look so whack. I was going to get them, but their looks prevented me from getting them. These look so much better.



I think I'm going to have my friend weld me some custom made front upper strut bar and paint it myself.

stick with one piece... they are better, but still strut bars do little to nothing in terms of performance gains... especially if they are multi piece

werd, if ur gonna get bars, get one piece design ones. but i would invest into a rear sway bar first before doin the strut bars. bigger difference with that then all those bars combine.

Come on dude. Anything you can move with your hand while its on the car is not going to help at all. You just wasted $75 bucks or whatever. Well hopefully you will search next time

I told my friend I wanted to get strut bars too, but he told me that they don't do much to stock suspension. Recommended that I upgrade my suspension first, like sway bars, shocks, springs, etc. then add on strut bars if I want.
