I have two questions here

1.) In your lowered xB, with 4-5 people and a trunk load is it weighed down? enough that if u go over a bumb would it rub??
2.) Would getting shocks help that, if it happens?
3.) Is the Strut Bar Worth it? I trying to shave off some options to make room for shocks if necessary?

Well thats Three, but.. Answers are appreciated

The Hotchkis strut bar is on mine and I love it. It really makes the car feel more connected to the road and stable from crosswinds. I just got it put on but it really makes a difference when you pass a semi and don't feel as big a push that you normally get. Thumbs up on the Hotchkis strut bar!!!

 

1.Depends on your wheel tire combo.
2.The only shocks that might help are air shocks.Shocks are not designed to hold up the vehicle.Thats the springs job.Shocks are designed to hold the vehicle down.
3.Strut bars help very minimal.If at all.On a sporty vehicle,you can feel it tighten up a bit.Hard for me to tell on the box as mine had on from the factory.

Hope this helps!

 

I didn't have mine on from the factory and drove around for nearly a month before adding my strut bar. It makes a huge difference in the feel and handling of the car. Even my girlfriend noticed a mark difference immediately after it was installed and she was a passenger!
