Strut Bar?

[ENEMY_]

Is the FMS Strut bar worth it? i will be doing a b8 swap with entire Aspire swap. (sway, brakes, struts, springs)

Figured a Strut bar may help but I don't really know what they do...

yeah u can get the fms, or if u have a welder, grinder, and a true value hardware store you can make your own for 20$

Especially on a car like a Festiva, where parts are light and thin, the body twists when cornering. This twisting is especially important to keep under control at the shock towers. Tying the two together significantly improves rigidity and give better handling and steering response.

I don't personally have a strut bar though (yet), so I'm sure someone else can fill you in on the difference they've noticed.

I made my own for the back and I couldnt believe how that little bar helped stiffen everything up. Im making one for the front soon also. Definatly worth it.
