#31902, "stress bars"




          

i was looking at http://www.roadraceengineering.com/ and i was looking at the upper stress bars they have. i was wondering if they really work and what about the really cheap ones on ebay. will the .com ones work better than the cheap ebay ones. what about the bottom stress bar as well.

I had a front upper strut bar on a BMW and it made a huge difference in cornering. Even in general everyday driving I liked the feel. I was wondering about the 3 pc. aluminum sets on Ebay myself. Mine was an alu. from NAPA. Don't recall the brand name.

Indeed I am. In a couple of weeks here, I should have some great deals on a stainless front upper, stainless rear upper and a front lower tie bar.

I used to have an ebay front and rear upper, and a rear lower. The rear lower hit my exhaust so I pulled that off because it was annoying. The uppers were pretty shitty since they were a threaded deisgn on the ends, not a nice solid bar.

For suspension, look into the KSport coilovers man. I had the Tein basics on my car and I put a set of Tein SS on my buddys local Talon. I bought the KSport coilovers last year in the spring, they are fucking awesome. 4 inch ride height adjustable and 36 way front and rear dampening adjustable. For the price, they are trully a sweet ass product man.
