Default Strut Bar

Hello, I was wondering if the strut bar was worth the investment for our cars, i've heard that it doesn't really improve handling much, if not what would be the best investment for handling after lowering springs?

a strut bar is mainly a show piece, the x-brace though is a great mod.

btw - i think the asm 4 point bar is the best one to get

For most cars it's functional, but our cars have a huge cross member. We don't even have struts.

I have it and noticed nothing, the cross member does its job. I just like the looks of the ARC bar

Maybe under super hard cornering it would come into play, but I have never felt like it helped.

A front strut bar does nothing in this car. This issue has been discussed to death in the R&C forums. Here is your answer:
