Strutbars- Positives Vs. Negatives.

[BigRandCarFan_5]

Sorry for the second post so quickly after the first one.

I know it's probably been a topic long discussed, but I just wanted to find out for myself what the pros and cons are with going with a strut bar for your car?
My schooling will be over in 9 months, and I'll have more money to spend on things I like, specifically my car, and was just wondering about quick bolt ons like a strutbar.
Do the pro's out weight the cons, or is it the kind of thing where you have to take the good with the bad?

basiclly the only con is it isnt free.

it does add a bit to handling, but there wont be a big noticable difference unless you have an upgraded suspension system already

buy one of ebay for $20 and bolt it on.

i would look into alot more tho before throwing your money into little things like strut bars tho

i disagree with that to a point... but just enough to make a post about it :lol:

basikly the only con is it isnt free....
it makes handeling improved around the corners or on/off ramps and youll notice less tire hop or squeel when taking turns faster then what you did if you didnt do them... stock or lowered they make a huge enough difference... best part they realy dont get in the way of anything at all...

i would also do both at the same time but you dont have too.... youll notice a difference with just one, but both are great!

Not really any cons... unless you manage to strip the strut mount nuts/bolts in the process of installing.

i just got front and rears braces this weekend. and im impressed like it handles a lot better and its more stable in turns. i got the ebay ones and for 65 at my door, im very happy.
