Rep Power: 0 Since we're talking about strut bars, is there any real benefit to have one for our cars? If you look under the hood, the strut towers are located right next to the firewall. I mean what can a strut bar do that the firewall can't?

Rep Power: 301 only reall benefit in strut bars is looks and flex. rear is a waste i know, but when i had a front put on a while back, i noticed some lil diff. but i want something better for a front to dress the engine better. and i want TEIN!

Rep Power: 314 eh, pretty much no benefit under normal conditions. But when I totalled my car, maybe...... it helped there! (main impact was on front left side, right side of car was fine)
