FLiP Sp33d Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 i saw some strut bars for the camry on ebay costing around $20. the trd bars are well over $100. is a strut one of those things where u get what u paid for or its just a steel bar that braces the strut towers?

SKperformance Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 there is a rule in economics called ,oh i can't remember but it is about at a certain point of input that any more input ( like cash) cannot yeild any greater output or less of it so basically a $20 bar works great the 100 one would let you feel no gerater difference unless it is a race car and you knew what differences you were looking for go ahead and get one they work great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeemer Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 What exactly would adding a strut bar do? Like exactly how would it improve the feel during cornering? Is this a DIY project for someone with no experience working with cars (apart from changing oil)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbsal Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 i keep hearing about these strut bars from alot of people.they all say the same thing sk says that it really helps cornering.i think im going to go for it and buy one this week just to see how much of a difference it is.i have wide tires on my car also so that should help cornering as well.

SKperformance Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 it stiffens the chassis and keep the wheels suspension in a squared symetry for better cornering and steering feel it is a diy job only takes 6 bolts 3 on top of each strut to lossen place the bar mounts on and retighten a wrench set also to sung up any adjustments in the length and height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Hey! Im going to add a strut bar soon too!!! My uncle said he would help me DIY, well i guess it will be DIWYUH (do it with your uncle's help) :P But. hrm... if i was to pay the $100 for the TRD, think i could just walk up to the TRD dealer and buy it? or would they have to order it? ~ProZac~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 One thing you gotta watch on the cheapies is that some of them don't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 true about fitting the only worry usually is rubbing on the hood lining though easily adjusted to make it a bit higher i have a bar from 97 when they made tehm with a wider middle rather than a round bar i kind of prefer my type but i am partial to it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
