    One of the most common upgrades on a modified car is mounting Strut Bars. A Strut Bar (also known as strut tower bar or strut brace) is designed to tie the two opposing strut towers together as a single solid unit. The purpose of a strut tower bar is to reduce flex that these towers experience during hard cornering. When taking a turn a car's strut towers normally flex, resulting in bodyflex and losing some traction.

    Yup - hard cornering. Regular cars that are driven under normal conditions will not lose traction even without a strut bar. Unless you like going 100km/h on a winding road or into serious circuit racing, you can do without one.

    Of course, porma is another thing, but you have to open the hood to show it off.

    kapareho ba ito nung mga stabilizer bar ? meaning nakaka minimize ng understeer at nginig pag medyo mabilis, sorry kung medyo ignorant yung question, at saka hindi sa porma ito gagamitin, nagkataon lang kasi na kasama dun sa mga packaged options na ino offer nung dealer ko. Thanks nga pala dun sa mga nag reply.

    i had a set of 3 spoon sports strut bars on my 1996 civic and it improved handling immensely. especially dito na most roads are just one lane each way, it is important to get back in to your lane quickly.

    Iba ang stabilizer bar. Suspension component yun. Almost all vehicles nowadays have it. Even the truckiest of the SUV's like Nissan Patrols.

    You can get an STB for P1000 more or less (Taiwan type)... that will already serve it's purpose.
