Been doing lots of drifting and handbrake turns and i only change my tyres when they're worn out. Do i need a strut bar? will drifting in a stock car(subaru TS 1.6) cause my engine to fall out? LOLS! I don't think engine will fall out just because you did not install the strut bar. If that is a possibility, considering a layman's driving skills, your manufacturer should have included a strut bar inside your ride as part of the factory specifications. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuan 6th Gear May 15, 2009 Share May 15, 2009 Mike, after this you can consider a 4 point underbrace and rear boot bar to further stabilize your ride. If you like cornering, a set of coils would better your handling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastsidex Neutral Newbie May 15, 2009 Share May 15, 2009 ohh, that sure make sense! Then comes to the point about car slipping, will my car flip ? when i do such handbrake turns and drifting without strut bar installed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi 'Gizmo', Glad that you enjoy your drive with the strut bar that came with your vehicle. If you wish to feel the difference in the handling, you may wish to get a mechanic to remove the strut bar and drive without it. I'm sure that you will not like it cos' the car is not so rigid and the stability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi 'Yuan', the reason as to why motor manufacturer do not install many of such components that will enhance the vehicle is because it will ultimately increase the selling price of the vehicle.

If you not want to install the whole anti roll bar system, at least, install the most essential ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi 'Eastsidex', I would recommend that you go into the relevant websites to have a better idea on what type of appropriate strut bar system especially if you are drifting alot. You may wish to contact the boss who installed the strut bar for my car Mr Soh Hock Yong hp no: 90234126. His shop name is GSC Auto Service Pte Ltd. He has many parts racing and drifting. He would be able to recommend you the appropriate ones . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your recommendation. If you are going ahead with UR as your brand of strut bars, please care to check and ensure that your rear undercarriage bar does not affect or hit your exhaust or other metal component of your ride. That was what I heard from someone using this brand. I am using Summit brand. No issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Neutral Newbie May 15, 2009 Share May 15, 2009 The thickness of the stock anti roll bars are nothing compare to the after market anti roll bars. Of cos its better then not having any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0ss Neutral Newbie May 15, 2009 Share May 15, 2009 Yeah... u are right... Initially, I thght the thicker the better. I installed a 19mm rear ARB. After a horrible trackday, I realised that my car's handling is even more prone to oversteer. Quite unexpected and very hard to correct... Almost had an accident + sandstrom... Then, went back to workshop and ask mechanic to change to 16mm rear ARB + tuning of rear suspension setup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0ss Neutral Newbie May 15, 2009 Share May 15, 2009 Bro, make sure u got the real UR. Lots of replica on the market... Advice to everyone - Try not to get the 3pt front strut bar... The 3pt front strut bar tore through the firewall/chassis and into the centre console of the cabin. Everyone, including the track marshall, was stunned...

Stiffer suspension is e onli way to go. Best is chge to coilover, if not, chge to a firmer dampers wif gas. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
