Removed my rear strut bar today after 6+ months of driving with it on

-pot holes, rail road tracks, etc, hurt a whole lot less.
-The rear tire wants to lift of the ground more during tight corners
-On extremely fcked up roads the tires contour to the road better while cornering

shitty ebay strut bar, no its not magical, or enchanted

 

As for the front strut bar, it improved everything except for going around super fcked up corners(pot holes and corners with crazy angles). It did take away a lot of feeling in the steering wheel, and pot holes, etc, hurt less.

 

Sounds it.

 

Cool story. I wonder if adjusting the suspension to the point you couldn't control the car had anything to do with it. I mean, you crashed into a sign because of it.

 

He does seem to be describing the consequences of stiffer springs and dampers, perhaps he is confused with what bit has done what?

I removed the OEM front strut brace on my EK4 when doing some work, and snapped a stud in the process, I never got round to replacing it. On the road, on the track, on an autocross, it didn't matter what I was doing, it didn't make a bit of difference.

OP, I am afraid you are fabricating all this stuff in your head. There is absolutely no way that a shitty eBay bar with all the structural integrity of a Fray Bentos tin would do anything to the handling in any kind of meaningful manner, certainly not to the point of lifting a wheel.

 

Your delusions of grandeur will be sorely missed.

(I have to agree though, 20,000 posts in 5 years is quite something...)

 

Marc's been here alot longer than you. You make 6 posts a day (avg) and he makes a whopping 5 more than you a day. Wow thats worth crying about. I bet you really hurt that grown mans feelers.

You surely will be missed OP.

 

I remember my first rage quit

Wait a minute, no I don't.

 

Why is it that 12-year olds are the only people who drive Hondas these days?

 

This reminds me of a lad I knew once who fitted some massive brakes to his Citreon Saxo and swore blind they were so powerful he could get the rear wheels 3ft off the ground...

 

lol

 

LOL reminds me of a video i saw where i think some dude bought a subaru and was purposely driving as fast as he could and slamming on the brakes...the suspension was so bad the rear would lift off the ground and make the whole thing bounce around like it was on bags.

 

What do you contribute?

Strut bars don't affect ride quality, period. They wont making hitting bumps feel any different.


Simply put, you're full of ****.

 

This guy has to be a troll... between this post and his last one about his suspension adjustments, there's no way someone can be that idiotic...

 

he's got more seat time than a paraplegic bro

 

So OP, everyone is wrong and you, with your extremely limited experience and extensive Ebay hardware, is the only one that is correct? Okay. I teach middle school kids with the same mentality. Sad part about it is that they grow out of it.

Next post will be something along the lines of "I removed my front driver's side tire and the car's handling improved 1,000 percent on the road! My 1st impression."

 

^^ I'm crying from laughing so hard...

 

How about a rear wheel instead?

 

 

A what?
*Googles*


ooooooooooooooooooooooooh

 

Yea I realised after I posted it that they probably don't sell them in America.

ICn'tBF to Google a USDM pie tin manufacturer though.

 

IBFL

Hate to say it all boiled down to inexperience. Strut bars don't affect a car the way you have described as everyone has mentioned. I appreciate the laugh from the other threads. Any half experienced driver knows to take it easy after making suspension adjustments.

 

lololol a strut brace will by no means change whether a rear tire lifts or not. A sway bar sure as heck will, though.
