Strut Bars Front/Rear: Myths and Facts Sun, 27 April 2003 23:26 Go to previous message
Ive been doing some research into the theory of the strut brace in front of a car but havent found too much on the rear.

Now ive read that there is both contraction and expansion forces exerted upon the bar during different cornering situations.

I own a 1984 Supra and plan on doing an engine upgrade (quite possibly 7m) soon and the suspension is not really up to task.

Just wanting to know if the strut tower bar is purely a ricer cosmetic feature or a proven suspension tool?

Will it only be useful on a track car vs a street car?

Will a rear strut tower bar affect the dynamics of the IRS?

And if i go front strut tower bar, will it vastly the affect the rear end if i dont put a rear strut tower bar on it?

And what do you think of this little beauty?

Sorry about all the questions, just trying to determine myths and facts.
