Strut bars improve steering responce.....the front one makes the most noticeable difference. They are made to stiffen up the chassis and reduce body flex.

Has anyone had problems with the fit of the front one?? I kinda went cheap and got the V1 Racing ones from Konig and on the passenger side it kinda rubs on the hood support and lifts it about a 1/4 inch??? Did I just buy some chitty bars or what???

try and swap the bar around the other way. that might solve your problems.

i noticed a diff after install. a good compliment to springs/struts

I got Pilot Motorsport front and rear upper bars. I noticed a difference at mid to high speeds. They look cool too.

That looks like any old strut bar to me. Hey is that Konig strut bar carbon fiber? I know konig makes a carbon fiber one but I never knew if it was any good.

Strut bars are designed to do one thing reduced chassis flex, we get the most in the front obviously because that's where the guts of the car is. Our chassis is shapped like a tub kind like this
|_|

Now say you were to pinch that it would flex so if you add a bar no more flex. I mean it still will but not as much.

Haha don't think it'll get rid of body roll though that's what sway bars are for. emoji

Neuspeed strut bar the best!!! nuff said
