a strut bar definitely increases the super placebo effect, i promise

nobody that discusses strut bars on forums can tell the difference in handling with or without a strut bar

even with a stop watch, u wont be able to measure anything unless u can do lap after lap within a few hundredths of a second

by the way THE FIT DOES NOT HAVE REAR STRUTS

yes, increasing rigidity by bracing the shock TOWERS (the metal body work that holds the rubber bushing that holds the shock shaft), NOT by bracing the actual MOVING shock shafts

take a look at the top of the shock shaft while another is driving and u will be amazed by how much the shocks r actually supposed to move


the front has struts
front strut bars brace the towers NOT the struts

in case u were wondering i do have sway and strut bars

oh really?

i have a feeling a m1a2 abrams tank has near ZERO chassis flex

if u wanna talk about money, u can even GET PAID to remove that old bed frame from nanna's garage and u can weld all day long and make that fit bulletproof (literally)

having a super stiff chassis is nice, but there is a point of diminishing returns

a roll cage, properly triangulated into the suspension is an ideal blend of safety and performance (too much bracing if safety was not an issue)

Quick question: Does this not come with any mounting hardware? Just remove stock bolts and bolt it using those?

NICE. i never even installed mine. i see the bolt didnt fit cause you hacked up the mounting point and you cut the piece in half and pushed it through the hole so all you had to do was drill a hole and screw it in.

nice man.

I have my front Under brace for sale and it comes with the hardware.
