I think this may have been discussed a time or two before....but strut bars is strut bars. Don't waste your money on big name brands until you have already done all the other stuff you want to do.

I don't want to go against your friends or anything but I would get sways first.

Where are you looking to get a benefit? Track, street, highway, name dropping?

I don't want to say that you are just getting them for the name but there are guys that build show cars and this is instrumental in them scoring points.

So please take no offense.

Rudy, what difference does it make what it looks like after you hit a wall? Hell, lots of bars would be crushed after hitting a wall. I STILL say...."bars is bars".
