Cusco Ti and Carbon strut bar questions

guys was wondering if anyone has noticed this...
just got my Cusco Ti front strut bar and Cusco Cabon fiber rear strut bar and i noticed both of the bars especially the "stamped" Titanium bar offer alot of "flex" compared to the stock steel bar, which is more rigid.. both bars are hollow..was wondering how these bars that "flex" more car stiffen the car up compared to solid stut bars

any thoughts?

Have you mounted it yet or just flexed it on its own? Once it's bolted down, it's a lot more rigid. As for the carbon bar, it shouldn't flex at all. I have both of these bars as well. The Ti bar will flex a little more - I did it more for weight reduction and bling than to improve the stock piece.

Aw yeah...Chris is all about the bling! huhu.

The only reason there is to switch to a new front bar is to save weight....and the bling...
