A "strut" tower bar would probably add negligible stiffness above that provided by that huge box-section beam in front of the engine in the S. That's why in the S a bar is unnecessary (except for looks and added weight) compared to some other cars.

 

OMG are you kidding me. There is a HUGE difference between them and why STB are used on cars with struts. The strut takes the upper half of the load. In a dual wishbone the upper wish bone does this and there is almost no flex

Stop trying to make yourself feel better for wasting the money. See that HUGE box that runs across between the 2 frame rails -that- is where the load path from the upper a-arm is.

Get a clue guys. Stop trying to convince yourself it works because you paid $ for it.

 

Only to those who want to waste money.

 

I don't understand why i didn't realise it before? I'm totally agree with you.

I'm sorry for my stupid question about this strut bar.

What do you think about the welded tube between each tower and the bottom side of the engine compartment?


Thanks in advance

Strut bar? I think not.

 

I had a Megan STB before i had to take it off due to rubbing against my aftercooler.

I don't know about all these other guys but i could definitely notice a difference with it on.maybe the fact that I'm lowered has something to do with it aswell.

 

yep, thats because it works.

 

no its not because it works.

its because you expect it to work.

 

[QUOTE=CwestinAP1,May 20 2007, 01:25 PM] what i'm saying is that the term is strut is used for both cars with shocks and with struts, by numerous people, and the people who use it know that the car doesn't have struts. thats just how it is. i'm not the only one that will refer to it as a strut bar, there are tons of other people.
