J's Racing Rear Strut Bar Review

I haven't written a review in awhile. My building has pretty much stopped for the past 6 months. I'm going to post up some pics tonight, and write the review tomorrow by editing this post.







Review: This was one of the easiest installs. No extra hardware. Remove the rear strut covers, lossen the bolts, place the strut bar, add torque and secure the bolts. Make sure the tower is even.

Performance: This is WAY better than the Tanabe strut bar I was using before. It sits at a lower stance like the Cusco. No more bracket sounds, i.e. metal on metal. That was so annoying. The rear of the vehicle is more rigid. Like all strut bars, it needs to be tighten every now and then. You get what you pay for.

Unfortunately, the price on these and other J's products have gone up. List is $207 + shipping. Think long-term when buying stuff.

A little something extra for my C-Pillar bar. I'm not surprised if everyone starts doing this.




NEXT MODS: J's Racing Front Strut Bar w/Spoon ETD install, J's Racing Type 2 Antenna, Wheels (Finally!), JDM Modulo conversion

Whoah. Domo looks like spider-man. If you have the C-Pillar bar alone, you won't notice much of a difference. Add the rear strut bar, and yes you will. Only on high speed turns though. Regular driving, you can't really tell since your going straight.

Yeah but Cusco's endlinks are blue and that sucks. lol.

I am thinking of selling my Weapon R trunk cage to go with the J's strutbar

I like my Cusco because it's mounted to the body not the shocks.
