ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

I was just wondering if it is worth getting a strut bar because my mate send me a link to this one :

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/WHITELINE-MI ... _528wt_905

and i dont know if it is worth it. Just thought i would check with you lot.

If you think it is worth it and know of better ones let me know and i might get one.

I have never driven my car without one but what I have been told they do make a big difference.

I would think that is a little expensive, but it is a very nice looking top strut brace.

yer thats what i heard to and im just wondering if it is worth it, i haven't heard anything bad about them im just not sure if i need to put one on but then a lot of lancers on here have them on there cjs so i just cant tell

You can get the ultra racing top strut brace for cheaper but it does not look as nice as that one IMHO.

If you look around you may find a Ultra racing for about $120.

I would suggest the Alutec top Strut bar instead if you're buying the Whiteline one. You can pick one up from RPW.

The UltraRacing one is as Troy mentioned available for A$120 delivered if you look hard enough.

Thanks aspir3 & Ofey. I haven't looked at strut bars before because i was still 50/50 about getting one so now i want one i will have a look around and see witch ones i like.

Thanks for your advice.

i deffinately noticed the difference, i was lucky and picked up an OEM ralliart bar for $40

Wow now i really want one and for $40. lucky

i got lucky and got the utra racing bar for $50 from Kyrus, who was parting out his lancer, and a better $50 I havent spent. Cuts out front end flex, makes turn in sharper and feels more solid. Highly recommended.

dont listen to this guy, he is drunk

Having driven our Lancers with and without one, I have to say that they do make a difference. The feel of the car cornering is better with it

do you notice a big difference between the factory and aftermarket strut brace?

I added a VRX strut bar to my now ex-VR - it did make a bit of a difference to turn-ins. Funny though - not all 'sporty' or good drivers cars come with strut bars? I assume its because the chasis is so stiff anyway you don't need one.

thanks everyone for your advice and ive decided to get one hopefully i get one this week before i drive to Townsville
