Default strut bar?

i know its not too much performance wise but are there any strut bars out or that will fit on a MS3? i just think it adds something to the engine bay.

also i have the cobb rearsway but how is the front sway? is it a lil over kill if i dont hit the track?

Ya, it adds weight. The car already comes with the best kind, that braces the strut against the firewall.

All the front sway bar will do is create understeer. No real need, since these cars already enough!

bigger front sway = more understear (not good)
bigger rear sway = less understear (good)

strut bar = waste of money

I think Autoexe makes an overpriced, overbuilt red one.
