Mugen strut bar...amazing results!

my mugen strut bar came in today. i immediately installed it on my car and took it for a spin. i was suprised at how well it improved my turning. i used to have a lot of trouble "scrubbing" (tires rubbing against wheel wells). i actually tried to scrub while driving and found it very difficult if not almost impossible. i originally only bought it because i got a good deal on it, but now i'm glad i did because i can tell big improvement. pics below...

I hate to break this to you emerge. I bet you bought that off ebay huh? That's a " Mugen Style " strut bar. The easy way to tell is the badge and the 3 piece construction. The actual Mugen bar is a one piece construction and it looks like this............

I wonder if installing one of these will improve my turning at ALL on my stock wheels and suspension... will it help anti-roll a lil? I mean the leaning when I turn or switch lanes..

yeah i know it's not a real one. i found that out when i took it up to a local shop today. the guy told me mugen ones are one piece. plus the fact that i had to put the decal on the strut bar kinda gave it away. but hey, it works...

Hey B16, i see a strut bar in your engine bay on your avatar. What kind you got?

Yes it will aid in eliminating body roll. It's just the quality and construction that determines how much. I suggest Carbing strut bars. They lock the towers to the firewall and are lighter than Mugen bars. oh and they cost a grip.
