Is strut bar really worth it.....
I wont be racing my AP1 when I get it....but sometimes you feel the need for speed.....and pushing the car around the corner.....so would a strut bar be a good investment? Also would be enough space to install a AEM V2? Thanks

The wisdom appears to be that due to the design of the suspension, a tower bar does not improve stiffness in any meaningful way. For one thing, we don't even have struts on our cars.

The best return on investment is for mods to the loose screw behind the wheel. Stock, the car is better than most of the drivers. Invest in track days, autocross schools, etc. That's where the big performance improvements lie; best of all, those improvements transfer to your next car at no additional charge.
