I want to know how much people are paying for this thing that supposedly isn't doing much for performance.

And, which brand do you have?

 

someone told me after getting the pressure off the front. it felt stiffer.

 

I got the Hotchkis and i got it from a member about a year ago for 150...i think toyota dealers are the primary seller for those now for 180

 

180 for my TRD strut bar and $10 install price

i noticed the sterring was tighter and felt very nice, not loose and unstable, actually makes you feel like you have control of the car

 

i got my greddy for about 140 a while back from racing solutions.. i think. .ahah..

the steering was a little bit tighter, but i am going to redo it whne i have time and lift the front of the car ..

 

~$170 which is a lot for a strut bar but it's TRD. I had the DC Sports bar and it was damn heavy compared to the TRD bar.

 

you can get the megan one for 82 shipped, cheapest ive seen
and if you get the megan short shifter i think they would give you a great deal

I got the Cusco Type AS for $135

 

How satisfied are you guys with the performance?
Do you think it was worth the price??

I've found a Tanabe for less than $80. It's an adjustable aluminum...The site says it's best installed with car off the ground, then lowered.

Should I buy one?

 

i got my dc sports bar for like $95 shipped from the user "smartass"

 

There isnt any real performance gain. I honestly dont think it's worth the price on a tC. But I still bought 1.

 

i just bought one cause it really helped my old car.. not so much the tC.. but it was a little bit noticeable

 

You guys need to buy the Rear Bar. With the Tc being a Hatch we are subject to more flex in the rear of the vehicle. Ingalls and MMW has a rear bar with the Ingalls bar having the advantage of being a 4 point brace not just a 2 point. There is a review on YSTC.COM and here on SL for you to look at. Consider the rear bar before you waste money on a front bar.

 

dont forget bout the Greddy one!
i have it and i love the look.


taken from the parts section..

 

i bought greddy front strut for $115.

could've gotten rear for same but opted to wait for ingalls.. and then when ingalls came out..... i had no money..

 

You love the look?if you had the Ingalls one you would love the performance gain

 

yeah the ingals one came out about a week or so after i got this one

and the performance gain was fairly noticeable on this.. i havent felt/ experienced the ingalls one just yet

 

Ill let it slide then. I can tell you when I first got my Ingalls bar I was blown away and still am.

 

just go to
techniquegarage.com they have nice ones.

 

front strut doesn't do much at all, our strut towers are pretty close to the firewall to begin with, but i got a strut bar anyway, haha. got my used DC sports front strut bar for $50
