wizzard_al Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Agree sway bars are best bang for the money, but once you get there, the strut bar helps. I've actually done the upper and lower front strut bars from Ultra racing, and the rear trunk bar from them on my S60. Definite difference, particularly the lower front one. but hit a steel plate in the road, and boy do you feel it. Transmit those harsh bumps right up your seat. Upper bar just helps keep the tops of the strut mounts from flexing inward, which will impact handling. Why do you think they do these on race cars. Not same bars, but similar attempt to stop body flex, which impacts handling precision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
