Suspension Possibilities
#42
Hello guys...
New to this forum...i have a 94 gxe all stock. Heres the question: What does the tension suspension bar (near the firewall)on the top that runs connects at the top of the strut shock towers do? Looking at the the pictures here ... i discovered that my car never came with one. And doing a parts search...i understand it is an aftermarket part...not OEM...
ps...don't mean to hi jack...as i don't know how to start a new thread here.

It is formally referred to as a Front Tower Strut Bar... or was it called a Front Strut Tower Bar??? Either way, it's FTSB or FSTB. It helps keeps your tires on the ground by preventing the 2 strut towers from "flexing" in and towards each other during a moderately well taken turn.
You're correct, they do not come OEM.
You can't make your own threads yet because I think you need to reach a minimum of 15thread contributions before the site will let you post your own thread. My suggestion to you is to perform forum searches before you randomly post/start your own threads, as you will be called out quickly. Searching is fun, anyhow. All ya need to do is donate $20. And $20 is VERRRRY cheap for the amount of information and guidance you will find here on the Forums. Anyway... Welcome!

Also you cannot post a new thread until you've reached 15 posts (its in the TOS you agreed on when you became a member) Just post in threads your comments or opinions related to the topic and dont postwhore by just posting 2-3 words that dont make sense like I do
Welcome to the Org, enjoy the stay and you're encouraged to search prior to making a new thread, most questions have been answered numerous times

Here is my current setup as far as suspension goes:
CustomMaxima.com front strut tower bar
BlehmCo Rear strut tower bar
B&G Progressive Rate Springs
Koni Ajustable Shocks
Suspension Techniques Front & Rear Sway Bars
Blehmco Swaybar Links & Brackets
BlehmCo Stage 1 Lower Tie Bar
New Control Arms with bushings and new ball joints
Besides New paralell links, what more can I do to the suspension besides doing custom frame support work, like x frame braces or other things?
