Front Strut Bar
Does it make sense to put on a front strut bar from Ebay if thats the only thing i'm going to put on(no rear strut).
|
In very aggressive driving it would make some difference. For the most part they are cosmetic.
|
FSTB is a FSTB. I have an ebay special and it works (almost) as good as a more expensive one. I think Stillen should be excluded from that list though... You don't really feel much of a difference with a RSTB unless you are a hard core cornerer.
|
The rear is very noticable if you have the rear sway. But for everyday driving... None of them really do much.
|
There was a very noticable difference from my car, cut front body roll in half. They are not just cosmetic....

I think it was mostly in your head. I got my bar and I can say that my steering seems a tad more responsive in tight corners and maybe there's a little more effort but nothing immediately noticeable. |
I must say, so far I have felt very minor results with RSTB, but felt fairly modest results with the FSTB. I can't wait to get an RSB. And granted you get what you pay for...
|
Yeah...I figured that something that costs only around $20 would be pretty much useless
|
I've heard Stillen is the best FSTB because it allows you to actually preload your front suspension. That's just going on "hear->say" though. but I think it's cattman who sells a combo of FSTB and RSB which are a decent combination upgrade to your suspension.
|
I have Stillen in front and back and can tell a little difference in aggressive driving compared to the old fstb.
|
what about on sharp turns with the fstb?

It will make some modest difference. Can't hurt.
|
I had an ebay one in my camaro and it made a slight, but noticable difference. But that also had a real stiff suspension. I would think it would make more of a difference in a maxima.

its like this, when you do something, do it right the first time. the ones on e-bay for 20 bucks are basically useless. its useless because the joints aren't strong enough to make a difference in turning ability. the bolts will most likely move when the strut bar is in need of use. i mean 20 bucks is 20 bucks. i'd rather get a used one from someone knowing that it will perform a lot better. rusty bolts aren't really anything if you got some wd-40 and a torque bar. Hence, i'm still trying to get one that doesn't use bolts but welded straight across like my bro has on his rsx. i personally think that putting a cheap mod into the suspension is asking for trouble. You might probably think that you CAN turn faster and take a turn too fast for your own good since you THINK
you do have a mod. |
I just ordered the suspension package from Cattman, Front Strut Br and RSB, Titanium. Ill keep you posted when I install them.
|
how much did that run you dragon?

you will be paying $20 dollars just for better engine bay fuller look, it wont make a difference, the only difference you can actually tell is with a rear sway bar, now that's a big difference!

they all do the same shiet. but there not really that effective on our cars. we have more body roll in the back which needs to be tightened up
