4 pt lateral trunk bar

does anyone have this in their car?

if so feel any difference or anything?

 

looks cool but i really doubt it does anymore then a regular strut bar, which doesnt do a whole hell of alot to begin with

if you really want to change/better your handling look into some sway bars

Butt dynos are never accurate. I'v noticed this is the ~second thread or so on chassis stiffening devices. Are you at a point where you are looking to stiff up the rear section of the caR for autocross? Another option would be more looks oriented with the added benefit of some added chassis stiffness. That's okay, I'm just trying to give you a better answer.

 

get this and the miracle X bar and try and put them both in and then with a roll cage and you have a nice spider web in your car

no but on a real note does it work haha or anyone have one

 

Hope you don't plan on using your spare tire

 

To the OP, on a stock R with no weight saving parts were taken off (back seat, floor rigid bar...), these kind of bars does very little to stiff up the rear which already stiff. But, if your R is like my R with gutted interior, it does make a big different which you can realy feel.

 

ok that answered my question. now lets have some fun. would anyone ever put that bar, plus the miracle X somehow, plus a roll cage, and some lateral bars from wherever you can and make a spider web

 

why do all that, if you put a rollbar/cage in your car thats all the chassis stiffing your goin to need

if your doin for show do what ever you want, its just going to add weight

also why whould it make any difference in how well the bar works, weather or not you have your rear plastics installed? that doesnt make any sense

 

No offense to CW-ITR, but I don't see his logic. You mention all of these pieces but I don't see the gains. I see lots of weight and the loss of any trunk/storage area for when you attend autoX/track events...which I'm assuming is the reason for all of these bars, rather than the spider web look. Strut bars really do not do very much, and our caRs come with a rear trunk brace already. From experience I know how much a rollbar alone can add stiffness. This still allows your full use of your rear seat, trunk area with plenty of storage: 4x wheels, crate of fluids, cooler, tent, luggage, toolbox, GF's junk, and her as a passenger at Expo.

Good to know, because my cage doesn't really work with most tower bars.
