Take a look at this strut bar





this bar looks like it would really do something cause to me looks like it bolts right up on the struts.

what do u guys think?

I don't think they'd work to well.
reason:
buy bolting the struts to gether, you only make sure the movement between the struts are equivalent. you are not actually stopping or preventing any movement.

which is why it's called a strut tower brace. which is stiffining the towers preventing them from moving.
towers hold the strut and by stiffining the towers, you get less movement in the strut.

basically it looks like an ugly waist of money

ya its funny that every ones bashing it but looks arnt always the point, i bet that thing there has so many hours of design in it and out preforms the dc sports on. and i dont think it does bolt right to the struts becuase that would defeat the purpose of it. it just probly bolts to the mounting of the strust and covers up the top, not specifilly tying the 2 together. sure it may look big and bulky and not to stylish, but if it works any thing like the dc one il take it. will look bad ass pollished or painted. probly light as **** too
