do strut bars realy work?

[skater182]

i was thinking about getting a front strut bar for my car but i wasnt really sure if it would be worth the money...
should i get one for the front or no?
thanks-

I think they work. I added front and rear at the same time I did shocks and springs, and the car feels so much tighter around turns and corners. I say its worth it.

Yea i'd say they're worth it....i have both front and rear and the biggest thing i noticed was the dimminished body flex....they are expensive just hit up ebay they have both fron and rear for like $40.

 

[jdm93dsm]

yes, they are verymuch worth it. btw, i was wondering if anyone makes a rear strut for the 1st gen models.

 

[97eclipseRS]

i hope they are worth it cuz ups should be bringing me one today

This is a reply to the add about rear strut bars.. I know there is a front strut bar for the 1st Gen. But is there one for the rear strut bar..

 

[Eclipse96Ryder]

umm im pretty sure their worth it. People wouldnt just keep buying them if they were junk (except for honda boys)

 

[skater182]

haha and an answer to my own question ide say this strut bar was the best spent $20 ive spent on my car, its incredable and yes it was way worth it

 

[Defiant]

Hm. I've put them on both mine, and I'm not sure I've noticed a difference. Other than the rear in the 2G getting in the way of stuff sometimes.
When I put a new battery in the 1G I was in a hurry, and haven't gotten around to putting the bar back yet. I've not missed it. But I will put it back, you just gotta have them.

On my way to work I'd always pass by a flat 90 degree bend and really test my RS's cornering ability. I tried it before and after installing one of those Ebay front strut bars. The differences were really noticeable, mainly the body roll was reduced by at least 50%.

ya for only 20 bucks those ebay ones are pretty nice

I know they do make them but where can you get one cheap?

Also why is their none for 1G on ebay but their is like 50+ for the 2G?

the auction i won about a week ago. rear struts for 1G, look at other auctions by this guy... he gets a few but he says he gets less and less eveytime when i talked to him.

yah i need to pick me up some.

 

[racer]

there is no need of rear strut for 1g front wheel drive.I'll defently buy me a front one,cuz I almoust killed myself and the car at 100 degree tur, trying to take it with 50mph .

 

[jdm93dsm]

I went ahead and bought a front and rear for personal security

 

[eclipse13]

So would it be worth it to buy a more expensive one or would a cheaper one work just as well?

P.S.
sorry for bringing back an old thread

 

[jdm93dsm]

alot of people use the cheap ones u can get off of ebay. i mean numerous amounts of people and i have seen no complaints really yet. my front one was expensive because I got a solid thick one from arospeed and then rear one is expensive because.... well its rare for my car.
