does anyone have theses on their car (c-pillar, rstb, etc). i was wondering how much they help.

 

watch out here they come.

just buy a roll bar it will do more and cost the same probably less. and it gives you some safty too.

IMO they don't do ****, they have joints and pivots, and are rather thin and small size.


tons of people will tell you how much they help, and those same people will tell you have much there 'strut/stress' bars help. and they don't, its the damn 'placebo effect'

 

These setups are much more effective:

 

they're great jdm showcar parts.

 

so you guys arent fans of strut braces/lower tie bars either?

lower tie bars no not really some times they are effective as a sub frame stiffening divice for a sway bar but thats about it.


and 'struts/stress bars don't really do ****.

so i gess that would be correct.

 

what would you suggest if these do not help. besides a spring/struts, sway bars, and bushings?

Seat time. Lots of it.

 

For my budget setups i usually run some cheap-o ebay strut bars and just toss a rear sway on my car. From there its all seat time and tuning.

Sway's for sure. Yet, i did notice a difference with strut bars on my car. With the rear on the car rotates a bit more controllably and when i removed the front one i got rid of some of the understeer.

this is crazy!!!!

 

The "Strut bars do nothing" isn't exactly true.

With both my front and rear, I had to take the stress off of the chassis to mount them up (jack up the car). This would suggest they preventing inward flex of the chassis.

With the Neuspeed front bar, the car felt much more solid under cornering load.

The rear was a different story. I had a MIT bar, with the adjustable joints and crap mounts. Even with the back end jacked up and the bar as tight as physically possible, I noticed NO difference at all. I ended up installing my Spoon rear tie bar from my EF into my EG, and after jacking up the car to install it, I went for a drive. I did indeed notice a difference in how the rear felt, and the car felt more controlled overall.

The moral: Cage is best, but if you must get a strut bar, make sure it's non adjustable, built solid and a necessity for your type of driving.
