Default strut bar question

simple question... to some the answer might be obvios... but i dunno. i know that strut bars are supposed to help the handling of your car by reducing the flexibility of your car and giving your car better response in cornering... but are they really worth the price? Are the effects of a front or rear strut bar really that noticable?? my friend said they work but u could barely tell the difference. I don't wanna spend money on it if the results are minimal at best. thanks for your input

Does your friend take some hard turns? if not, then thats why he doesnt feel that much difference.

a strut bar is designed to do what it says, make your struts do the moving, not your car body

They work, and they're worth it. Just buy a generic eBay one for 20 bucks. They do the job just fine.

strut bars aren'treally that noticable unless you have done some other modifications to your suspension, like dropped the car or something like that. on a completely stock car you won't really feel much of a difference.

I got mine from Ebay, it was $40 shipped for front and back upper strut bars, I've only put the front one on and it makes a slightly noticeable difference
