Where can i find a polished strut bar ?
I seen neuspeed ones that people say are polished but, everytime I go to check it out it always comes up black.

also interested in a nice battery box/tray/holder thats a nice fit.
Think I want to start making it look nice under the hood.

 

you could always take your oem strut bar off and sand it down and then polish it.

 

It's off.
I just don't want anything more to do with the sanding.
Rather just buy and install

 

Very few Neuspeed bars are polished. It seems everyone bought the black one.

 

Anyone know of a polished strut bar,any brand thats for our cl's ?

 

does the cusco one replace the stock bar, whereas the neuspeed sits behind the stock one? Thats what i think i remember it being.

 

I HIGHLY doubt there is a strut bar that goes behind the OEM one.

The oem one already mounts up at 4 points, if you put another on, there would be no room.

You must remove the old one and put in a new one. But there are many aftermarket strut bars that only mount up at 2 point and IMHO that means it's worse than the OEM one. so make sure w/e one u get mounts to the 4 points

 

The neuspeed strut bar mounts in conjunction with the stock one.

 

Here`s my polished strut bar.

 

Neuspeed goes behind the stock bar.

 

lol my bad...

does it make any difference?

It looks pretty overkill

 

Yea, the stock one really doesnt do much. Theres too many bends in it to be considered structural.

 

how much does the front strut cost?

 

$150-ish. I dont think they sell the polished one anymore.

 

yea 150 for a bar with 2 bends in it. I cannot see the logic/justification.

I'd rather put my money somewhere else

 

well this isnt a mod id do first. Its more of a mod to do when you've done most other stuff you want done.

 

depends how you drive, if its mostly in straight lines then this mod will never be needed

when you start to push it around corners it helps

 

I want my coilovers to do the flexing, not the body.

 

If i could find one for cheap then yea. But i couldn't see myself paying full buck.

Where can you even buy them BTW?

 

so it is worth the money if you go to many turns ? reduces body roll ?

 

Go to the Neuspeed site and get the part number, then google it. I got mine from a junkyard on eBay for $50 shipped

And it doesnt really reduce roll, it just tightens everything up. It makes my coilovers more efficient by not transferring all the cornering loads into the body.

 

My friend has a polished one, I didnt know they were that rare. He doesnt even like the color that much cause he doesnt like chrome.
I have the black one, matches my car.

You can feel a difference simply in quicker steering response but its slight. I mostly bought mine for looks
