GK5 (2015+) engine bay strut bar

Hello guy,

I was wondering if anyone tried putting strut bar on their GK5...

I think there are some available for like $160 but i dunno if it makes any difference..

any words?

I cant add anything useful to this thread, other than .... I recently uninstalled my lower arm bar that connects the lower control arms together, and I can def tell a diff. now, my car understeers when I take a hard turn, and I experience a slight loss of traction.

The arm will be going back on, real soon

For how cheap it is ($48.00 msrp) and how easy it is to install (2 bolts) .... you cannot go wrong with this thing

Found the post you did when you installed it: Megan Lower Control Arm Brace Thingee

Does this just require to remove bolts and put them back in, or are new bolts included to mount it? Do you remember the torque value you used?

Thanks I appreciate the quick response. I'll have to add that to my buying list, probably after I move.
