i got a strut bar put in before the AGX/GC's were put in and it was pretty tight. but after lowering the car should i tighten up the strut bar? i never passed physics, but here's my thought: lower car changes the camber. so instead of the wheels being straight | | they're now / \. not to that degree but you get the point. so would that make a difference on the strut bar? or does it not even bother the strut towers? :confused:

The STB will have no effect and the towers won't give a damn about the wheel camber. The added camber is a function of the suspension's geometry as it moves through its arc.

I just got my car out of the shop and I had them remove the STB because it was pushing my hood up ( a knock off that a local shopped just forced on ) ...
The ride in my car is noticbley less harsh .... I pass one big dip leaving my driveway everyday and I instinctively braced for the harsh bump and it was more of a slight pat and also where there is a bridge cross every day no harsh bang when a cross ( it is a draw bridge )
Just an observation....
But is still not stock smooth for sure ...

The biggest thing I observed was straight line and when coming out of a corner. The car is noticably more sturdy, less "flop".

This might be due to the fact that without your STB the front end is now "flexing" a bit more when you go over those evil bumps...my two cents anyway.
