I have aluminum welder and wanted to try it for a while
Or even steel bars
What are some more effective designs for front and rear bars

Re: diy strut bars?

Any that are solid without those flexible adjustable joints are about the same. I've never found strut bars to be a significant difference in handling or feel.

Re: diy strut bars?

so pretty much any solid welded is a better option?

what about the type-r vs gsr front strut bar?
type-r is multi piece and gsr is solid

Type R is just bling-y-er, maybe a tad lighter if anything (doubtful though). They both have the same attachment points and accomplish the same thing.

Re: diy strut bars?

So a 3 point bar up front and x bar i the trunk is that pretty much best and simplest option?

Re: diy strut bars?

Eh i dunno about the "x" bar in the trunk, from what ive heard its a pointless, weight adding, mess of a jungle gym in your trunk. The three point front, and type-r, mugen style rear is best( if any at all)
