I never doubt the usefulness of a strut tower bar for a McPherson strut setup. The way this review was worded is very misleading. The race track is not an end all discussion type of statement, however, the very nature of true testing comes from race track testing. Whether the track is a slow or fast circuit, most race tracks are not entirely smooth. If they were completely smooth, who the hell needs suspension to begin with? This is the very nature of the statement I was trying to come up with.
With that said, all bars will do something. If it is subdued, it is because you changed the very nature of the chassis's modal frequency, hence, the normal resonance you may feel from the chassis will be changed at a different loading spec.
If anything, reducing the number joints and tolerances is more ideal for a bar. In this case, the bar is not completely rigid and may have a maximum material condition that causes "excessive" movement in the bar making it less useful than intended. These are just more instances on bar selection for purpose over looks.
