To Rockland,

You are implying that the bar made the car is "stiffer" and "ride better" all at the same time? Not that I think you are in any position to quantify handling gains.. but thanks for your opinion. I think if I gave you a battery tie down brace you would say the car handled better.
this man i guess has no clue to my suspension setup oh well another brillant answer from the other side.......

Then enlighten us all as to how the bar made your car stiffer (which you have no way of quantifing) and ride better all at the same time.

I don't need to know your suspension setup to ask you a question about you own comments in post #1.

He simply made an observation, that's all. Even if his words were not the correct ones to describe the feeling, which I'm not saying they are wrong, he still noticed a difference in the way the car reacts. Do you need Loren to back you up on this to justify and say I'm wrong?

The reason the car felt better was because his wallet was lighter.
