NEWBIE HERE ,WELL JUST ON THIS SITE ..ANYWAY IVE SEEN A BUNCH OF THOSE STRUT BARS IN MY TOWN ON TEGGY'S WHAT ARE THEY CALLED AND DO THEY HELP? U KNOW THE ONES THAT CONNECT FROM THE SEAT BELT BOLT FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER (ON THE TOP). THANK'S IN ADVANCE ...

 

Pillar bars, they don't work as well as you think they would. They are 99% 'bling' and 1% function, or so it seems. Does your chassis really flex that much in that area?

 

They are called C-pillar bars.

And I believe your answer is no (in most cases anyways), they dont do crap except serve great bling purposes.

P.S. STOP YELLING!!! ITS RUDE.

EDIT: Damn, beat me to it

 

C-pillar bar. I beleive they serve a purpose if you are doing a lot of autocross other than that nothing just for looks

 

They are actually pretty useful. I don't know about you guys, but I've lost count of how many times I've been driving back from the dry cleaner with a full load, wishing I had some place to hang up all my clothes.

 

yeap mostly there for bling, i don't think the body flexes that much

Hey you did say 1% function

 

How about those Top Fuel bars are they any good? I think Camp1320 makes some knock offs also

 

sweat thanks fellers !! man iv searched eveywhere but no answers u guys kick *** !! tinted windows so no bling for me and i do all my laundry at home so dont need a nother hanger...lol thanx again..98rs!! p.s.. i really need a tranny thinking gsr??? any input ?? and yes my body does flex a bit but nothing a itr sway and a h - brace wont cure.rite?

 

Sway bars are most helpfull

 

Not a whole lt you can do as far as body flex. All swaybars will only help with lateral load transfer, not stiffen up the chassis. Tiebars and strut tower bars have yet to be shown to have any noticeable improvements. H-braces do seem to help, I can attest to that, but there isn't much out there on these things yet. Same goes for fender braces.

 

thanks again guys, yah i have some strut bars u know the usuall dc tie bar, trunk strut ,top front front,just took off the front bottom strut it was rubbing against my tranny and making a loud annoying nois i felt a big difference without it so deff need the h brace and my suspension consists of tockico blues and tein s tech i like the ride but need it to be a bit more stiff. so iam slso looking into the itr strut top front and itr sway w/the arc reinforcment hope it'll stay there for a while ANYWAY THANKS !!
