I Would use the strut bar to hold the speaker box im going to put in the hatch. So it can be dual purpose..

yeah, I know some people even run a 4 point seat belt from that bar too.

Running a harness from the strut bar isn't a good idea. Neither are 4 point harnesses.

i personally think teh strut bars are useless.
The only time they become useful is when youhave a suspension setup fully done, the strut bars will then complement you setup. If you have the stock suspension stuff (ie bushings, shocks, springs, ball joints or what not) the strut bar is going to do nothing. If youhave new bushings, coilovers and te works, adding the strut bar will then help. Wihtout those items they just add to the ricer look bill: "dude your **** was twisting" |
yeah, you would think on a tired old stock suspension, your first mod (like a strut bar) would be a noticeable difference... it was for me on many cars, especially the heavier ones.
I couldnt really tell if the rear bar made a diff but it does keep **** in place better than those belts on the hatch floor |
I got all those bars on my car when the suspension was still stock. It made a great deal of difference. I'd suggest them to anybody that wants to improve the feel of their car.

I noticed a difference when I put on my front strut bar from Mazdatrix. It is attached to the firewall and also to the engine. I noticed a big difference in handling with just this mod. I notice no vibrations like some have said twith the engine attachment. It was also a royal bitch to attach it to the firewall when you have all airconditioning lines in place and all oil lines running right underneath the lip of the firewall. Lost much skin from my knuckles. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif I will be slowly upgrading all components of the suspension so I figured I could start here. Something I could do at home without any special tools.
