You are sponsord by a company who produces said useless bars makes you a biased sorce of information. The fact that you would say that a Beatrush is less useless than a Tanabe is rediculous, and proves my point.

Why is the strut bar useless? The front struts are mounted in RUBBER which flexes, and the strut towers themselves are part of the firewall, which is one of the strongest areas of the car.

Yes, there are a couple braces that will help handling... strut braces are not one of them, on this particular car. Some of the undercar bracing is actually usefull.

take a side by side look at both bars and tell me there's no difference. as for total uselessness come on now. BEATRUSH makes C-ONE and BRAILLE and has been a staple in VITZ/yaris products for years now.....

you can talk about how is does nothing all you want, problem is there's no proof to your opinions........

I'm not saying they aren't all a bit different, I agree some bars would be better than others if they actually did something.

I'm saying none of the bars are really needed until you have the the front struts solidly mounted to the car. Your money is better spent on bracing the suspension arms and subframe under the car.

Also, you have no proof that they do work :P
