2 point strut bars are eye candy. Basic geometery tells you that the strongest base is one with 3 points. Show me some scientific proof of how a 2 point strut bar works instead of bending with the chassis, and Ill change my stance.

-act in compression during bumps to keep the towers from getting closer together

This topic has been covered heavily so doing some searching on this will bring you to some very good reading, including free-body-diagrams showing how it all works.

I know they help to eliminate flex in the chassis, but you guys drive an STi, which already has a very rigid chassis as is, so the flex your eliminating is minimal at best. Id save the money and put it towards more useful suspension parts. So once again, I say its eye candy more than useful.

The uk spec evo, was the fq 330 with 330hp, obviously having more hp than the usdm- 276hp. I must admit it was surprising when the evo left the sti, not so much the audi. None-the less specs aside it was nice seeing an evo ahead. Don't get me wrong though, still respect the STi.

Spec-Awps · 03-31-2006, 05:19 PM

ya i like the STi

Mohammadov · 04-05-2006, 09:28 AM

The driver of the STI was idiot.
