STRUT TOWER REINFORCEMENTS
 
whats going on guys, currently trying to figure out what is the best bracing i can purchase for the car, ive read a few reviews and cant get the answer i want really....

so with that said, im building the car more towards time attack/grip runs. anyone wanna give me some insight

If you're talking about the front strut bar, there's not a whole lot of point until you've done nearly everything else you can do. They're already close to the firewall and they're already braced, so they're pretty sturdy. You'll see much more improvement per dollar with bushings, suspension, and alignment bits.


That said, all the strut tower bars do the same job, so it's not like one is significantly better than another.

Megan Front and Rear Strut Tower Bars
 
I got a good deal on a set of front and rear Megan Racing Bars. They are easy to install. Don't see any improvement in my times. If I leave them on it puts into STX if I take them off I can run CS. It's a good thing they can be removed in 10 minutes but like I said nothing to get excited about they look good.

GRIP!

Okie is probably gripping his keyboard really hard right now. :lol:

But yeah, strut bars are pretty far down the list in terms of worthwhile mods.

Start with alignment, tires, brake pads, and fluid. And driving instruction.

You can put strut bars on if you feel that it makes you faster.

It just sounds ridiculous.

At least it easily identifies the figure skaters. :cheers:

Pj, why do you make your thread titles in capital letters?

If someone prefers feeling like they're going faster instead of actually going faster, I've got an overpriced stance setup I'd like to sell them. Strut bar included.

sorry my caps lock was on and didnt feel like changing it, haha. but im just trying to get the car planted to the ground as best as i can, they probably would be one of the last things id do honestly.

Have you done any suspension work? There's a big difference in requirements between being slammed and tucked and having a racetrack worthy suspension.
