yeah... really got effect after installing the bar... reduce chassis flex alot... more stable cornering....

my cold air intake isnt connected to the filter... coz i'm using ufo K&N filter, there isnt any airbox for me to connect to the CAI.... so, i made 2 CAI to face my filter... icon_rolleyes.gif

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

so ur car is for sports purposes lar catacomb? haha
or tester car?


Added on February 6, 2007, 6:07 amya...mayb reli need to drill holes.. coz there are oni 2 small holes around the rubber things. which i duno can use it onot. if use , must use wat type of screw?
*
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
