Front Strut Bars?

[Z-RCtuner]

so.. I just bout a CR-Z and it looks like it'll be my new money pit. I'm already thinking about adding a mugen front bumper lip..

What do you guys think about a front strut bar on a CR-Z, function or fable?

[Hellionz]

Functional. Do enjoy it around here. Use the search or else Mod Scotty will make you cry.

What other mods you got planned?

A front sway bar would be more functional on our cars

Idk. That motor rib helped out a lot especially with an RSB.

Some people tend to get sway bars and strut bars confused.

Strut bar: Chassis brace, keeps the body of the vehicle from flexing under weight shifting. Also prevents some camber change under cornering.

Sway bar: anti roll bar, reduces body roll under hard cornering. Increases traction under hard cornering. The bar twists under cornering and creates more of a load To the outside wheel.

When you put a strut bar on and take your car for a drive you
Won't feel less body roll, some people tend to think that's the case. When you Drive your car hard around corners a sway bar is your best bet first, itl keep you in your seat better and keep the car flat in corners

I'm not confused. I have a rear sway and a spoon motor rib (front strut tower/front chassis bracing). The car corners a lot flatter and quicker than it did with just the motor rib or just the rear sway bar.

I've gotten the best feedback from the Spoon Motor Rib, somewhat restrictive if you plan on getting an aftermarket intake but besides that thats the best option. Other than that there are 2 point strut bars from Beatrush, Cusco, J's Racing, Kansai Service, Tanabe, and a few other brands.

Sway bars is a whole different ball game, the rear ones are fairly inexpensive, but the front ones are pretty complicated to install, so that makes them more expensive.

If you need help figuring out which combo works best for you let me know
