Tanabe Front Strut Bar
Got the Tanabe front strut bar installed today!
  She now handles very well, great turn-in; the car feel solid and well planted. So far my set-up consists of: Eibach Pro-Kit springs, TRD rear sway bar and Tanabe front strut bar....all I need now is a set of Tokico HP Blues and rear disc brakes!

Strut Bar tension
Hey guys and gals. How often should I re-tension my tanabe front strut bar? I recently rotated my tires, should I adjust my bar?

 But yeah, the front strut doesn't do much for the car. It does look cool tough!

I put a strut bar on my shoulders and I notice that I can throw spin-moves on my cats with amazing accuracy, so I say they work.

In extreme conditions you will notice the car feels more solid,I have proven this to myself,I have had the bar off several times,and took this turn at 60mph,withbar,and without,there is deffinitly a difference.Now at 30mph you wont notice a diffrence because the rubber has flex,but beyond the rubber flex,tthe bar helps stiffen the chassis.
