I was just wondering wich strut bar is a good one. I was leaning toward rrm because of the nice price tag on it, will anyone disagree with me?

 

To me it seems like it would put a lot of stress on the 2 bolts (1 on each side.) However not being in the car mod game for too long I could very well be wrong. I am throwing in my .02 anyway but there are others on this forum that have far more knowledge on the subject. I was curious to ask if anyone that had the rmr strut bar if they have come across any difficulties with checking/filling the brake reservoir?

 

I would highly recommend checking the parts review forums. I posted a brief review of the RRM strut bar in there, and I'm certain there are a few others. Please take a look around and do a search or two before you post a question that's probably been asked before?

 

It is kind of the opposite of what you are thinking. With the grip levels you have on street tires you could begin to put enough stress on it to need any more than a single bar. Those bolts withstand 2200 lbs. of stress no problem.

hey rock did roy got back his GSX yet ? and did he brake anything else in his car yet ?

 

There is no possible way that strut bar is gonna shear the bolts off the strut tops. The strut bar would bend and the struts and lower A arm would bend first.

(unless you over tighten or something is defective)
Also read the shop manual when torquing the bolts down, I think it's some incredibly low number like 15ft/lb of torque

 

i was going to get the RRM strut bar, but i got a special price for the RMR, 148 installed, i couldnt resist jumping on that deal, but hey, do what you like

You actually paid to get a strut bar installed??

 

You would of saved money just doing it urself, all it takes is a simple socket set and 10mins.

 

10 minutes is a lot of time even. But with RMR you may not always have the option to take the part home from the dealer uninstalled.

 

LOL no being retired from the US Army, as a disel mechanic, so if i can do a complete engine and tranny swap in under 3hours, hehe strut bar, piece of cake

took me a total of 6 minutes to install, 5 min break, 1 min of actual work, hehe

Installed RMR strut bar this evening. 1 hour time limit. 5 minutes for strut bar. 5 minute for bong break. 5 minute for bb. 15 minute for bb. 10 minute for windshield washer tubing reroute. 20 minute for bb. Will drive in the morning as it is late tonight and wife's car is in the way. Will this thing do anything anyway? Can't wait to find out for myself as the stories and threads on this piece of bolton vary from best thing ever installed on my ride to hope it looks nice cause it don't do squat.
I'm betting it will help with the overall harder cornering and and coil springs I have
