Neuspeed strut bar

[Ian01ex]

Hey guys, I just got this put it about an hour ago. I bought it used off ebay. It had some rust spots (guy lived in canada) and was the polished version. I sanded it, primered it, and painted it flat black and I think it turned out pretty good. I am very happy with this upgrade! Car handles a lot nicer through curves and it eliminated my 70mph wheel shake! If you dont have one I would advise getting one. You can also see the header I put on about two weeks back in these pics. The guy I bought it from painted it before he sold it to me so thats why it is grey. I want to get some exhaust wrap for it cuz it looks a little weird how it is.

Can someone explain to me how a strut bar works? All I know is that it improves handling. Yes I am stupid.

Let me give you the scientific version. "A strut bar is designed to reduce this strut tower flex by tying two parallel strut towers together. This transmits the load of each strut tower during cornering via tension and compression of the strut bar which shares the load between both towers and reduces chassis flex."

I've got the same bar. Looks great, and makes a bit of a difference. I was definitely pleased with mine, and I'm glad you are with yours. Good stuff man.
