Strut Bars!!
 

So, I see many people with strut bars. I just hate how they all look so flimsy, and I can't see how the two pivots help tighten up the chassis. Anyone out there sell off the shelf SOLID strut bars? Or do I have to go make them myself? I was thinking for the front, copy the evo and have it attach in three places: both strut towers, and the firewall. And the rear, just a solid piece going across the strut towers.

They work. They are just to keep the 2 strut towers from flexing inward.

Yeah, like when you take the car off jumps and stuff.

Raise the car on a chassis lift (not a wheel lift, you want the tires and suspension hanging freely), install it with a little preload. Put the car back on the ground and you are ready to go.

When installing my front bar I'd always use a jack at the center point near the front motor mount which works fine too.

Anyone know if they still make the Greddy one?

Not sure about the current ones, but the older Ractive bars were cheap and fairly stiff.
