Hi to all who do not have a strut bar in their vehicle engine and the feel after installing one which I would like to share with. I have been toying for quite some time as to whether I should install a strut bar on my Mit Lancer GLX as my other 2 cars came with it. Reason being that I could feel lots of difference with and without between the cars. My next point is if I install, should a use a single piece or the type with hinges on both ends of the strut bars. After scrutinising through the various websites and understanding the pros and cons, I decided to go for the one piece one and yesterday, I contacted the supplier of strut bars and get his opinion. He also recommended me the single piece type as it is more stable and rigid. After the conversation, I went to the shop and try both before deciding which one I like. While testing them on cornerings and straight road at high speed, I felt the difference on the driveability as the single piece 'ultra racing' is very stable on straight roads and take cornering at high speed very little swaying of the car. I then decided on a single piece 'ultra racing' strut bar for my Lancer model. After installation, I feel the car totally different as it gives me more fun and better kick to drive. Before installation, I had to slow down the speed during cornering and the car was swaying to one side. But I have to clarify that even with a front strut bar installed, one should drive with care. The above is my view and sharing after installing a front strut bar and have no regret in spending the money.
