24863, strut bars
Posted by solareclipsegurl, Jul-28-04 08:02 AM
I just switched my eibach pros out for H&R race springs, wanted a lower stance since i went with 40 series tires. I like the springs, however i wanna do some more suspension. and was wondering about strut bars, etc. who has what and what seems to work well for no body roll.

i got mine from OBX and the work awsome!
i got em off ebay.
just make sure its a solid bar and not some cheap hollow tube!

if you crave more, check out "High-Performance Handling Handbook" by Alexander and published by motorbooks workshop. they discuss EVERYTHING about suspension from mild to race!

here is what i have:

KYB GR2 struts (pure shit, don't buy them IMO)
Goldline Lowering Springs (around a 2" drop or so, good ride)
Ebay front and rear strut tower bars
Hurricane_GS front and rear lower tie bars (if you ever have a chance to buy a set of these...don't!)
I am also in the process of installing a full set of poly suspension bushings.

all in all...i am damn pleased. You don't really notice a difference when you put teh strut tower bars on...but if you ever take em off you can definately tell they are not there.

I have koni adjustable shocks with eibach sportlines (2 inch drop). My suspension is hella tight! For strut bars I purchased Pilot motorsports front upper, rear upper and rear lower bars. I alos have the custom Hurricane GS front lower. To top it all off I have the chrome neuspeed front upper firewall bar as well. 5 strut bars baby!!! Whats body roll, lol }(
