Front strut tower bar

Can anyone tell me how this things work and if it makes any different?  
thanks.

yeah....it works by reducing chassis flex, allowing the suspension to do the job the engineers designed it to do, although it's not that much of an improvement. but for $40, what do you expect?

$ 40?  what do you think about those ebay bars?

If you dont mind reading this a good page to check out.  strut bar theory (http://e30m3performance.com/myths/Strutbar_Theory/strut_bar_theory.htm)  As for the Ebay bars they are all the same.  From what I read they all do the same thing its that the ones that are rectangular are less likley to bend compared to the round ones.

i swear by my Cusco bar that it's better than a Pilot bar.

LoL

I have Cusco as well and I noticed a huge improvement.  It definitely depends on how you drive though.  For everyday driving you might not notice a big difference.  If you aren't terribly familiar with your car (not saying that you aren't) you also might not notice a big difference.  Although I really don't think so, some people think that having only a front STB makes the rear want to break loose more, it does FEEL that way, but it hasn't done anything I haven't expected yet....

i think a STB is the cheapest mod you can do, and IMHO it makes a pretty big difference.  but it is true you will only notice it depending on your driving.

I also have a Cusco stb.  The first time I put it on my S14, I did feel a slight difference. The front (steering too) was stiffer going into tight grip corners.  This was before I lowered it so maybe this showed a better comparisson...or not
