Front Strut Bar???

Nick Mc · 05-04-2008, 08:24 PM

Hey total newbie question but can i have a front strut bar with stock suspension? and if so do i want one? good ones to buy?

WESTI · 05-04-2008, 08:34 PM

yes u can. good one? theyre all the same. i got an ebay one. its just a piece of metal. If you have lots of cash u can spring for a cusco or a whiteline, beatrush, etc.....

Nick Mc · 05-04-2008, 08:38 PM

thanks a lot and im just going to get a cheap one i didn't really understand how much difference an expensive one could really make

WESTI · 05-04-2008, 08:40 PM

ebay one cost me 16 bucks. a cusco one will cost about 150. the difference? looks basically and thats pretty much it. the ebay one looks kinda cheap but it is so i cant really complain

ha ha yeah for sure you are paying for the brand name. Can you notice a big difference between a strut bar and no strut bar?

WESTI · 05-04-2008, 08:45 PM

16 bucks difference? maybe a decrease in window creak. 150 dollar difference, no way. buy a sway bar for that kinda money. either way dont expect anything major.

$16 dollars is NOT a waste of money. Got rid of ALL my front window and dash creaks. Noticed a more firm stance in mid turning. Any type of brace connecting two points will do "something" weather or not is effective is another story. In my experience, all alwase have strut bars.

well theyre 16 and then like 15 for shipping so.... yea its more like 30 for the front one and 30 for the rear
