hi. i was wondering if anyone knew anything about strut bars because im looking into buying one for my bb6. does a brand mater or is like ebay intakes where they are all the same? any suggestions on what to buy?

 

Just make sure you get a solid mount, most generic ones use a swivel or some kind of adjusting bolt which usually flexes under pressure. I'd look into one from Explicit Speed Performance.

EDIT: I wouldn't spend money on a strut bar until you upgrade the suspension.

 

well i have it lowered on some dropzone springs but it still has stock shocks. think i should wait or what?

 

You will see more of an improvement by switching shocks first. Then maybe increase the size of the rear anti-sway bar. Then maybe do bushings or strut bar. The BB6 is already a stiff chassis so I wouldn't start there.

 

i agree but strut bars under the hood do look pretty

 

Get some koni yellows then the strut bar. You will like fo' sho'

That would be your first problem right there....

Read the FAQs please

 

haha dropzone...

 

If you're gonna get a strut bar go with the Neuspeed. It's one piece so it does what it's designed for unlike the ebay types.

 

hahaha yea i know i figured that i would be getting coilovers soon so i said F' it drop zone springs it is... its just a metal coil.

Like others have already said, I would replace the struts & springs before getting a strut bar. However, if you really want one, you're in luck.

But, if you get the Type S bar, you require the Type S shock absorber mount (with 5 bolts, instead of 3). They are tough to find, and I'm still looking myself.
