19007, Front StrutBar, wat does it do? Posted by , Jul-19-03 09:47 AM Hey guys, I was planning on getting some front struts for my car (I been told that I didn't really need the rear ones, correct me im mistaken) and I was just wondering exactly wat it does performance wise. I know that it keeps the chasis more stable and stuff but like, does it help my car turn sharper or wat? I been noticing that my eclipse has horrible turning radius (sux at U turning) and I was wondering if a front strut would help make my turning radius smaller. If anyone can help I'll greatly appreciate it. | |

As for what it does, I know like he said, it tightens up the car, but I have been told by many people that for the 2g, it dosen't do squat unless it is like a full engine bay bar (welded to many points under the hood). I don't know if it is true or not, but just my 2cents. | |

Posted by MCubed45, Jul-19-03 09:40 PM if ya want a real performance strut bar for our cars get a Hurricane Bar. it's made my by hurricane_gs on this board. he makes them himself. instead of mounting to the strut tower it mounts to the bolts next to the 'humps' of the strut tower. there's 4 mounting poits. it's a solid piece of metal and DOESNT block the oil cap :thumbsup | |
