25523, Question on strut bars
Posted by ajcfalcon, Oct-25-04 11:07 AM
i have an upper front strut bar currently on my car... i was contemplating buying the upper rear strut bar from a 2gnt member to help improve what the front one gave me, plus i think it will look pretty cool... However, the snow season has already started and here in Colorado we can get pretty shitty road conditions...

will this make my car handle better or worse in the snow/ice or will it not make a whole lot of difference?

I don't think you will notice. If you loose it on the ice, I don't think your bar will have anything to do with it. I say put it on.

ditto...the biggest thing that will effect handling in snow is tires, and most likely camber if you are lowered since it makes the road contact patch a bit smaller.

it will not hurt to get the rear bar. but the biggest difference I felt was the LOWER rear bar. Get them both and you'll be able to tell a difference. but ^^^, I don't think tower bars going to make you drive better on snow though...

im not worried about it making me drive better on snow, im worried that it will have a negative effect on snow.

it will have no negative effect when you drive on the snow. It has nothing to do with your level of traction on ice.
