if the mounting is not stable, the bar will flex, reducing the effectiveness of the struts, the struts is supposed to balance out load on one side of the suspension, if your strut bars is 100% effective, during cornering, your suspension spring rate will be doubled, thus more stable

with weldings i really doubt the effectiveness :s

given that the welding is done properly, it should be strong enough....

Added on February 6, 2007, 1:15 amfor iswara.....looks like the bar from ultra racing is still screwed in.....

maybe they drilled holes????

for UR strut bars, only iswara front bar is different with other car front bar.... only UR front bar is welded to the frame while others are bolted on....
not sure why, mayb due to the design of the holes around the absorber mounting hole.... there are only 2 holes....

the 3 point one is not really good for ur car .
i ahve read before , it must be on that two points only , that is one of the way to make it cancel-off each other forces .
for the one screw into firewall , in long term firewall might have loosen due to forces . ask ppl about this , many 3 point user expreienced .

ur point might be true for a street driven car... coz street cars still do need some chassis flex to absorb vibrations and shocks from the road....
but if ur car is used for track purpose with hard cornering, more points is better... icon_rolleyes.gif

nolah...my car is just capalang street car....more to a family mini mpv car.....the car is big and bulky so cannot corner fast....the only reason I installed this is for better handling and comfort on straight road when i drive about 140-160km/h.....somehow after installing the bar....the car is less bumpy and I feel my steering very "calm"......

I would suggest you take a look at other iswara cars that installed the bar first before making any holes. Drilling at the wrong point might harm your strut tower and even worse, might affect your absorber.

maybe you can take a look at how the UR bar is done. catacombs said that the bar is welded on. maybe can try ask your mechanic if he know where to weld the bar.

my car no sportscar la... vr slow car.... i chose UR because zenden dun have front bar for saga iswara mah... for saga iswara, they only have lower arm bar...

what brand is ur front bar??.. if UR, yes u need to weld it... if u dunno how, send it to any UR dealer workshop and ask them install... of u go straight to UR factory install...

dont simply drill holes into ur strut tower... this will affect ur overall chassis rigidity... besides, all aftermarket bars are some sort of plug n play... u dont need to mod ur chassis to fit it in... except UR which they insist of welding it to the car frame.... wink.gif
