I'm considering buying front and read strut bars for my ride. Do they make that much differance? I race once in a while but just on street and freeways....nothing serious. Would this be a good investment? Please advise.



Full Flow Master exhaust, clear bumper lights, Altezza taillights with modified center, tinted windows, eibach lowered springs, chrome rims, Perilli P7000,a Pioneer system(cd head unit, 2x 10" subs, amp, mids, highs, 12 disc cd changer), Blue headlight bulbs, fog light mod with running lights, Full cold air in-take, clear side markers...ect

Get'em! They won't really do much for straight line racing, but they're definately worth it.

check out these custom jobs, granted they are on a 1 gen, but shit!! if i remember right, owner said the car was so firm, if car was jacked up high enough on one corner, the othe tire on the same side would begin to lift of the ground!!! thats gotta be fun to drive.

Heres a story that happened today...

I was on i-95 and I see this red 80's ferrari coming up on me, I floor it and the ferrari passes me with ease as expected. He saw I was trying. He got stuck up in traffic and I was making every move he was in traffic. Turns out, he's getting off on the same exit as me which is a very curvatious one. People have been known to go too fast and flip over into the grass.

Anyway, he mashes the pedal and Im right behind him and we do this exit going 67mph .... and I mean it's a scary turn going hat fast. He never expected me to be right on his ass wanting to press more pedal. Anyway, i spooked him out and he stopped at the red light for 2 seconds and then went throught the red arrow. Hemust have thought I had road rage.

Anyway the point of the story is, i may not be fast at all, but I can keep up with an 80's ferrari on an off-ramp.

I have a front tower strut, 2-1/2" drop, 17" wheels, macpherson struts, and 45 series tires.

Oh hell yes get them!!! I have three with the forth on the way. With these and my 215s she handles outstanding now, I can't wait to finish all my suspension upgrades.

BTW nice wheel man!
