Very good point indeed. With the pivot point, the only help the bars are doing is when both sides of the vehicle are loaded equally, which is pointless since the bars are meant for cornering strength.

in theory what your saying makes sence, but i had a set of front and rear bars just like that a few years ago and i notice a huge differnce. im sure a solid one piece bar would be better, but they do make a difference

Only improves handling though, right? Like, not stiffening chassis flex on say launches?


I heard that, you know what before I type this I thought about it, haha. I'll share. Old friend said strut tower bars flex the fenders and bend them or kink them. Any truth? ::)

Only way I know of is using some 4X4 box tubing welding from the front unibody to the rear.
