So would anyone recommend the SR strut bars from sharkracing? And do they even have a center bar?

I got confused on one of the earlier posts. Is there any difference between sway and strut?

Has anyone painted their strut bars?

You guys are gonna hate me, but the best strut bar I've ever seen (2-point mounted) is KORE's first production of strutbars. He had them engraved, polished, and made THICK.

Here's some pics of mine installed:

Yes!
Strut bars go ontop of your strut towers

SWAY bars, AKA Antisway bar goes under your car, attached with sway bar links to your struts (shocks) ALL OUR TIBS have an OEM one. Just you can get thicker aftermarket ones, like Eibach.
Do a search for "sway bar" you'll find your answer(s)

Yeah some people have painted them, some have had them powder coated, and I beleive one has even been wrapped w/ CF.

As far as SR goes.......Most of us have had problems dealing with them. Long shipping times, unanswered emails, etc....

Hrmmm
This was what I thought the ARK bar looked like from the bottom (my reference to the shape of "3" or "M")


Kinda looks flimsy,... but I haven't had one physically, so I can't say for sure.
But those ends (brackets) look like the ARK, Juntos, etc,... same
EDIT:

Now if you want a SOLID bar with no separte end brackets, here's what you want:



Direct from Korea, this car belongs to one of the guys in Calgary, met him and the car a few years ago, and he's Korean, got it from the homeland,... see if RIck or David can source it out.

Contact mussa in their sub forum

the strut bar does its trick... or else i would not recommend it..

Its the nicest looking and the best design i have seen..


Im still curious why all this fuss over strut bars and not sway bars. Sway bars make the most difference...

oh well..

If you can source that solid bar, I might be in. With no bolts between the bar and the ends, it should do more to stiffen up the car.
