strut bar improve handling n reduce bodyroll?

[kaninbu]

seriously city n highway driving needs it?or improve the look of the engine bay?

It certainly helps but if you don't corner fast, no point. Just adding weight only. I dun hv any in my car.

Agreed with above. If you want to improve cornering, thicker anti roll bars would help more than strut bars.

Strut bar is to make the chassis more rigid in case you corner really2 hard, attacking apex curbs, or do jumping which causes the chassis to flex (like in racing or rallying). So unless you do those things often, then no need to get a strut bar. Better spent your money on better dampers, springs, and anti-roll bars than strut bars.

Strut bar is functional for chassis strengthening, no matter you are a slow driver or corner freak and that thing is working. It is not expensive. Worth the investment.

yes,it improve handling....................

Car chasis n body is design to flex for improve NVH n improve body absorption when impact, euro NCAP for the main reason, if they wan it stiff will just made it like roll cage cheap n easy. Strut bar if street use it will channel more NVH into the body, track use rollcage n the more bar the better for rigid chasis.

As for antiroll bar do improve handling, but for stiffer antiroll bar = more understeer, need to tune your handling altogether to get the best result.

Yeap exactly. It has benefit but is it worth it for daily normal driving? IMHO not really. Of course if the factory standard car already has it then no harm there, but to add to cars that don't, I'd rather spend the money else where which will give me more value for the money.

 

[leynye yamin]

that means if change to sport spring no need to add strut bar lah? will it cause the shock tower to crack without the strut bar?
