Like sway bars, don't need it too.

I think, Front struct bar could rigid a little.

Well i have a da9 drag car and i went to the chassis alignment shop cause my car looked cambered more than it has in the past. They check it out and tell me my car has tweaked a lili inward at the upper strut mounts...i have solid mount and trans intergrated into travtion bar. Im going to be making a heavy duty adjustable strut brace over the winter. I notice my body seam sealer on both sides were i recently painted over looked. Like it cracked the paint.

ive always asked this question. most chassis shops tie the cage into the rear shock towers for rigidness but what about the front ? i'm pretty sure the front puts way more strain on the front suspention than the rear.

Answer is yes a SOLID Front Upper Strut Bar will only help a car not make it worse even when going straight... even minutely has to help slick bite more...
