strut bar questions

[HOTBOX]

is it going to be strictly cosmetic or can you actually tell after installing it? what kind should i get if i decide to get one

[ScionChick]

I can tell I have mine on. I have one in the front and it works great! I def noticed a difference. I have a DC sport kind...its a older version but it still works lol

[woot420]

in my opinion it's more cosmetic than function. i can't tell a difference with mine

I did notice a difference particularly when I had stuff sitting in the passengers seat. Items were less likely to slide off the seat and fall between the seat & door or end up on the console, particularly on tight radius on-ramps.

I noticed mine in the corners. I could cut it with more speed and it would hold better. Also something that I have not researched but it just a theory to me is in the Gen1 xB's some of them had a problem with the car flexing too much and cracking windshields. If you put one on the front it should help to stabilize the flex in the front thus helping to prevent a stress crack on the windshield.

Funny you should mention that. Rcurry went through if I remember right about 5 windshields before installing his strut bar and hasn't had a problem since.

I had one on my accord and honestly couldn't tell a difference.

Polyurethane bushings in your sways will be a noticeable difference.

You'll notice a HUGE difference with an anti-swaybar set.

Definitely a plus! And a rear sway bar.
