Posts: 940 ^^ see I don't like how it's so skinny where the bar meets the mount, both the Tc Sportline and Cusco are much wider and they both lack the adjustment screw together doohicky. The TC fits exactly, there is no adjustment, it is very solid and locks the strut towers together.

I bought my strut bars bc they were adjustable. the more you can tighten them and push on the struts the more responsive your steering will be. (my 2 cents)

in my old 240sx, i actually removed the front strut bar *keep the rear one one*.. it allowed more grip in the front and i could rotate the rear end easier into corners when i took it to the track.
With the bar on front, the car had a little more understeer.
A little chassis flex =more absorbsion/grip

I have the TCS as well. You really dont need to drive "hard" to feel the difference in the front. I have the rear TCS as well. The hatch would creak when turning the car unto a steepish drive way ramp. It dissapeared as soon as i installed the rear Strutbar.

hypertek thats why i only got a strut bar on the rear. I want the end to be able to break lose. hehe.... Put just a strut bar on the front your more prone toundersteer. On the rear oversteer.

OK, I just almost wet the bed. I was reading this thread and then started looking for a picture to post of the Racing Beat White Strut Bar that I'm sure we would all love to have and I found a website that had them for sale for $195. Jackpot. I'll take as many as they have. I called, they spent 10 minutes searching the warehouse. I'm sorry sir, we dont have any more of those.

I was running the RB bar, but I will be getting a mazdatrix triangulated bar. I have some pics of the RB bar somewhere. I'll see if I can find them.
