just curious if anyone has done this mod.

i did the front strut bar, and the difference was night & day as others said it would be.

just wondering what all changes when you add one of these into the equation & whether it's worth the price of admission or not? (i'm cheap. and poor. :P)

i doubt i'll spend the coin on it for several months at least, even if it gets rave reviews, but just figured i'd post and ask for the heck of satisfying my curiosity. :beer:

yeah - but i'm still curious as to how it handles with one installed.

thing is, though, i do NOT drive aggressively at all anymore... i granny drive around in order to spend less on gas so i can spend my $ on other things. so, that said, the front strut bar is still a bit of fun taking highway on & off ramp curves faster and more controlled (also conserving fuel by not slowing down and reaccelerating.) but i don't really neeeed anymore suspension mods.

still curious, though!
