how can someone assume that just because someone makes it, and the fact that people buy it, some how makes ANY proof of it being valid?

Well the T1R strut brace is a copy of the ASM strut brace and last time I checked ASM held the NA record at Tsukuba for the fastest lap time. 56/57 seconds, they were told it couldnt be done. I think its worth the money just to stiffen the front up a little, and its race proven, I'm a sucker for race proven parts, but theres no way to say it will compliment your setup just because it worked for someone else.

So why do all these places make strut bars? Lots of people have them. Why is that? Are any of the braces/bars good and worth it?
Ill give you the nice version.

Those bars do actually work... on other cars. They look pretty cool too.

Hi guys,

What do you think about those products?

http://www.meganracing.com/products/produc...did=127&catid=6

What's the weight of the APR GT200?


I saw a topic about the rear BSK and they talked about this product, i would like to know if it's good or not?

There is a good deal on ebay:

Thanks in advance and sorry for my newbie questions...
Man if you want to improve the car your going to have to learn real quick that you cant put cheap parts on it. If you cant afford the expensive parts dont bother doing anything until you have the $$ to buy the good stuff like mugen, ASM autobac, J's racing, Amuze, they'll cost you your first born but much better than nickel and diming the car to death and ruining it all together. good luck

no you're an idiot for marketing. You're telling me you think any of the speed is from the STB? Hell you see the pics above from huntereez w/o them



who let the noobs in here?

Holy cow people S2000's have fully independent double wishbone suspensions not struts, look it up if you're confused. Stop calling the shock towers strut towers or I'm going to blow a gasket and go postal
the term strut has basically been used interchangeably with the word shock for a long long time, and there really isn't much difference between the two (even if you have a double wishbone suspension, you'll still hear the term strut bar because thats just what people call them). When people mention strut bars, it's not because they people actually think the car has struts.

This coming from a guy who doesnt have a clue in the world that the "record breaking ASM car" doesnt have the 4 point strut on which they sell?


You sir are a tool.

thats because that car is a tubed chassis car, there other car does have one and they do race it. the (strut) tower bar will stiffen the chassis and if you like the way your car reacts wit the bar fine. so to some its not useless. the s2000 is great on the track because of 2 mods...........driver and tires.
