Strut Tower Bars
#24
hey yeah i took it through some "twisites". To be honest i wasnt expecting any real handling from this peice of metal with two ends. A lot of members said it would do **** and u wouldnt feel anything but on the contrary i felt a big difference. Driving down my alley we have a course full of potholes and small crevices that when i drove down before the bar i would fell alot of bumps thumps and umps. When i put the bar on the car and i drove down i felt a big difference i wasnt feeling so much the holes or whatever. I was expecting to feel everything more now but the ride is much sweeter and it takes turns liike WHoa!!
i dont care what some of ya say i do notice a big difference in the car handling .so i am werking on getting the bars for the back after i get my tranny and myclutch.

now i have another prob when i was tightning it the bar fell down like the angle of the middle tube and it snapped the nipple off my radiator cap so i had to put a screw in there so hold the anitfreeze from coming out tomorow im going to the junkyard to get the radiator houseing. I went to the junkyard but they closed and they let the dogs out already so i was like ****!!. I let ya know how its turns out lol

THE PLASTIC THING THAT THE RADIATOR CAPS SITS ON THAT HAS TWO BOLTS 10MM. I BROKE THE NIPPLE ON IT HOLDS THE HOSE THAT COMES FROM THE ANTIFREEZE RESOVOIR IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR. i FOUND IT AT THE JUNKYARD FOR LIKE $10 SO I MIGHT GET IT TOMOROW AFTER SCHOOL. WHEN I PUT THE BAR AND I TIGHTENED THE SCREW THE BAR TILTED DOWNWARD AND THINK THATS HOW I SNAPPED THE NIPPLE.

The strut bar from MazdaTrix mentioned something about turning that type of radiator cap around so that would not happen. I had no clue what they were talking about since my car does not have the type of radiator cap with the overflow tube like yours does. Now I understand what the were saying.
I, too, notice a big difference in handling of the car. It takes corners much better, handles very well. This is all with the original springs and all original bushings and such on the car. (152,000 miles).

Yeah i noticed increased handling. on the grand central parkway i drive 60mph coming home from st. johns university and i feel the road and the bumps. yesterday after installing the bar on my car i was driving 95 mph on the grand central and the ride home was so smooooth. the handling was better dipping in between traffic lol. I thought it wasnt going to feel good since certain members said that the two point bar did **** but it does and i really like it. Now im going to get one for the rear. i think cusco makes em.
Now i just gotta save for my cluth.
whats a mcleod clutch? nick said they make em for 7's just i never heard of em have you?
