Re: Upper strut tower bar?

notice much different with that on rear? I have a strut tower bar on front. But I've not felt much of a difference (and yes I know on the 2g it doesn't help much so thats why)...

Re: Upper strut tower bar?

I bought that same exact front bar for my 90 eclipse and it even arrived two days ago. It fits perfectly but I really can't tell if there is a difference, I just don't drive the car too crazy in the wet. I am planning on getting the rear one as well pretty soon.

Re: Upper strut tower bar?

It makes the back more stable. When I got mine, it came in a 3-pack, the front, back, and lower bars. When I installed them, I noticed a huge difference. The car sticks better. You can hit turns harder and it stays where you want it. IDK how much the back ones make, but it was well worth the money for them.

I'm pretty sure he hasn't hit his goal yet, which is 210 hp.

You can get the set on Ebay for pretty cheap.

I never bothered getting one for my eclipse. I had all 3 on my accord and it didn't do jack shit. I only have a front strut tower bar for looks honestly. they don't do crap. my suspension and tires are what increases my handeling. and if you want it better get sway bars.

Re: Upper strut tower bar?

I paid $40 for all 3 pieces. They work well. I like them.

And yeah, that's a goal. Probably not going to happen, but something to shoot for. I really want 14.999 for a 1/4

So you got your pieces off E bay? Look into those cams, they might raise your HP.
