Default OEM strut bar

How does the OEM strut bar handle with alot of spirited driving? It seems like it could be a bit weak and I'm curious if anyone has upgraded to a better bar or if everyone is just using the OEM one.

see no reason why it wouldn't.

In all honesty because of how Hyundai designed the chasis on this car if you damaged your strut brace, something else most likely got damaged too.

There is no reason to go out and spend $200 on an aftermarket strut brace if that's where you're headed with this question, they won't perform any better. It's more so a "do you have one" vs. a "which one do you have" kind of senario.

I don't know why people think it's weak. It has held up to my track days OK.

I've driven a few coupes with the Cusco Power Strut Bar, makes a hell of a difference when you turn in. It bites more. Worth upgrading.
