Default DC Sports CS-2 Front Strut Bar Installed & Pics

Wow this is one of the easiest things I have done myself to any car. I can feel that the steering is a little tighter but not $130's tight But I do like they way it looks with my FM tC.















Next on my list for suspension mods would probably be front and rear sway bars, although they are tad bit more expensive. Also that back nut on the driver's side was a PITA to get off and back on. Sorry had to vent for a second.

get some aftermarket sway bars to tighten the wallowing feel up when you are steering through a turn

yeah, I have been driving around a little bit today and it is defiantly stiffer but I still haven't got a great feel for it yet, but the more driving I do I will know it better. Thanks for the comments.

I look at a strut tower bar sort of like icing on top of the cake. It is sort of the final touch to the suspension. You will notice a little, but add some sway bars, differnet shocks and struts, different springs and a rear strut tower brace...it'll be a whole new car!

the rear sway and lowering spring will be a nice improvement in handling. i also added the dc strut tower bar too but it was like a week after i did the springs and rear sway so i wasn't even used to that, so i don't know if the strut bar did much.

yeah I plan on going with probably the trd sway bars next, but what is that metal plate under where your strut bar bolts on?

do you have enough clearance between your engine cover and the bar?

the bracket is for the ingalls damper, the stuff under that bracket is a couple layers of dynamat extreme. just wanted to show that this bar and the damper mount up together perfectly fine.
