Re: strut bars

Is your car really flexing a lot? You could get both bars.

You can correct/alter understeer or oversteer buy just buying one bar.

Re: strut bars

cant you also fine tune under/over steer with some higher end bars? im not sure what it is for but my freinds REX has a front tower bar and in the middle it has sorta like an adjustable ride height coil over without the coil. it was like adjustable how much push/pull it put on the towers or w/e....i cant think of and example for a sway bar...

Re: strut bars

Sway bars will have a much greater affect on handling than the strut bars will.

Re: strut bars

yes. there are sway bars that you can adjust the attachment points.

strut bars elimitate some flex from the body.

Re: strut bars

Sway bars and strut bars are very different things. One stiffens the chassis a bit (questionable some even work). The other reduces camber loss and somewhats simulates an increase in springrate.

Hey, by your statement, it didn't seem like you knew the difference. I just want to clarify it without pointing a finger at you and saying you didn't know wtf you were talking about. Try to help some ppl and what do you get for your trouble.
