#6, "RE: Strut bar question"
In response to In response to 0


          

YEs, Neuspeed makes a front STB and I think they even make some lower tie bars, but they do not make a rear bar. That bar may "slightly" be better than other bars, but no more than slightly. I think a better description towards at least strut tower bars is they are all fairly equal. And if you look at it from the perspective of what purpose they serve, it really makes a lot of sense. Besides fitament, and possibly some other aesthetic designs that were thought out, not much in terms of technology goes into a solid bar that links the struts towers together. This lack of technology means that most STB's are created somewhat equal in terms of the purpose that they serve. I would maybe recommend though finding a bar that effectively wraps around the strut tower collar. Get something solid at the ends, possibly a full collar that bolts down instead of a single bolt attachment.

Cheap Freedom Designs' bars such as these from NOPI at $40 would exhibit what an average, yet equally effective bar could fulfill.



So my recommendation, front or back, get whatever looks nice to you at a price you feel willing to pay for. Also, try and get a collar to the strut tower thats actually going to plant a firm base for your bar.
