imo a strutbar is a strut bar..it's all about personal apperance and the style you're going for..when i bought my TRD one off one of the other members here, i wanted a clean strut bar and was simple..nothing to fancy

DC..... There is a catch though, if you want THE best on the market, you have to spring for the ~400$ Titanium model... lol... http://www.directtuning.com/st....aspx

Screw that I'll just get some black iron pipe and weld up my own. I just need to figure out a way to bend it correctly...

Quote, originally posted by waveresponder »the 4 point strut bar Not to be a Donny Downer, but that bar has nothing that the others don't... there is no actual triangulation to help stiffen anything, and with it attached to the flimsy rad support, it's really just in the way.. Cool concept though.. If it where triangulated to attach to the firewall, like that of the EVO bars, you'd be talkin business..

definitely. front end is much stiffer during aggressive turning. Ive also noticed the car seems to track straighter than before especially at interstate speeds.
