is a strut bar more of a thing for looks or will it actually help out the car

its a cheap effective way to improve handling a bit. so yes it does help to a degree.

yea they do help alot i put the convertible front strut tower bar on my cavalier sedan and got better handling but cant wait to put the lower sub frame brace and polyurethane control arm bushings on it and poly swaybar mounting hardware

i put a front strut tower brace on my 00 sunfire. made a noticeable difference IMO. but its not a major difference.

as with anything, it's one of those mods that may not have a large effect to begin with, but as you build, it becomes more essential.

a stiff chasis will allow the suspension to do it's job properly.

you should notice a difference on turn in. that and it's a cheap and easily installed mod. go for it!

what is the difference with the regular strut bar, and the convertible bar?

Looks and cost. Aftermarket bar are normally shiny and normally cost a little bit more. The stock vert bar is chasis black and can be had for about $35 new or less from a salvage yard.

This may be a useless question I bought a set of strut bars when I first got my car, now that I've installed bags I still have not installed the strut bars is it worth installing or just sell them now? I have never noticed anyone with stut bars and air ride?

Maybe i've been overlooking them if its worthin installing now then I will install them this weekend.

I dont have my rear one on ATM due to the easystreet bolts being to short. But i would recommend putting them on.

Tinkles, sorry I never noticed them... anyways would that effect the side to side function of the car???

I know the keep the body stiff on turns etc, however how do they react when the body is forced to shift side to side???

Just for information this is why I never installed them had questions and never asked...

Shift side to side, you mean if i have the passenger side layed out and the driver side filled? I have always had the front one on with my airride
