    strut bars...

    will strut bars help out handling on a stock 04 corolla? just wondering of anyone else put strut bars on a stock corolla and if they noticed any difference

    edit: oh yeah.. would it be an advantage for just the back or front or both??

    thanks in advanced

    i have a strut bar on my car. ive had it before i had my tein springs installed. i did feel the car was stiffer and more stable. but i wasnt able to take it to the limit because i had bald tires.

    A rear strut bar will make the back too stiff and prone to swinging out. I recall someone making a custom one for the 98-02 gen, and they had that problem.
