nice buy... can't go wrong with $8, can't beat it with a stick with nails.

Hows it working during cornering? Any better? Can you believe that I have spent about $3500 on my car but still no strut bars?

[driftking777]

If you have a hatchback 240, a rear strut bar makes some noticable difference. Cuts alot of body role going into a corner. Plus the polished bar looks good in the back of a hatchback.

Shit, I think I'm going to check out ebay. That's the shiznit. I don't want to tell how much I paid for the ones on my Civic, but I guess it's worth it if ur racing.

[GSR]

I dont know what difference strut/tie bars make on 240's but in the honda world theyre more like nobb/ricer bars or like gt mention, just for show. a bigger rear sway bar or simply taking off the front one (i'm assuming there is one) helps the car turn easier. that may be true only for fwd cars since we get lots of understeer from factory though. either way taking the front sway on a rwd help with traction, correct?

I got that same one on the maxima for $25. on my 240 I bought some beefy tanabe strutbars, costed me $210 shipped for a front and rear one. Not sure how much of a diff it made b/c I installed coilovers at the same time, so of course i'm going to feel a big diff

[S13wanabe]

Well I can tell you right now they do help on a Civic. I have them, and I do race. The difference is quite noticable. But I also have the Skunk 2 bars, which are considered to be pretty good. I have a 4-door Civic, so that might be why they seemed to make such a big difference.

the thing that sucks about bars is that, unless you have raced the same couse under the same conditions with the only variable being the strut bars, you have no way of measuring other than the old butt g-meter.
