Man it feels nice to drive with my strut bar....i really didn't think it would make a difference in my driving....but it actually does...it makes the car feel a lot smoother on turns...gives it better handling....it doesn't feel like my box is going to flip over anymore....:D...this DC Sports strut bar is really nice...i like the color as well...its the carbon steel...matches good with my Black cherry pearl....:D...

 

yeah thats the bar i wouldda got if i had the funds to support it. a truly beautiful bar. well almost as beautiful as the jic magic one but alot cheaper so ya know. keep up the good stuff. u really noticed a difference? i didnt notice much when i installed my sccionfx bar. but hmm .

 

I got my bar for $100 bucks...brand new out of the box..

 

wow thats way cheap lol . where at?

 

I got it at a local shop called M1 autosport...its down here in Southern Cali.

 

I didn't feel a difference :? I guess it's just me :?

 

i have a tanabe strut bar on there right now but i bought the DC one also because i like the way it looks.

i also noticed the improvement. i plan to paint the DC BCP like i did my engine cover.

 

yup, M1 has some really nice stuff.

 

Me either.

I say its really not necessary. I know I'm going to get flak for this, but did anyone else notice how part of the strut tower is part of the firewall? If anything, a brace needs to be fab'd to triangulate the strut towers and radiator support area.

I know, I know, I'm not an expert.

 

That would be a perfect next mod, to see if I notice a difference..

-nt

 

How tough is it to install?
Also, do you have the address of the place you got it?
Thanks!

 

Mru2 i got it at 11668 Ramona Blvd. El Monte, Ca 91732 there number is (626) 442-3356...

 

I also feel like painting it BCP....it would look a lot nicer but for now i will just stick with it with the carbon steel color

 

What's difference between the DC strut bar and the Hotchkis??

They look the same to me :?

I found the DC for only $88... Why so cheap?

-THE DON

 

me three..... and yes the firewall makes the struts really stiff to begin with....

 

moved...

 

go to www.scionsport.com that's where you can find it for a little less than ninety bucks. Also I heard it was a direct bolt on so to the guy that asked, i would assume it wouldn't be too hard.

 

When I first installed my DC strut bar, I felt a little improvement in my xA, but not an "OMFG" improvement. I took the bar out during my DC Header saga (tutorial coming very very soon) which lasted a little over a month. During the time without the bar, I felt the car flex more on turns. I couldn't take corners as hard for I would fear for my car. It may all be in my head, but it's a nice part to have. It sure does fill up my engine bay...
