So I installed my neuspeed strut with my CL/TL strut yesterday, I must say over stock it made a whole lot difference. If someone had a lowered car on coils with no strut bar upgrade and drove my car, im sure they will feel a difference big time.

Just another confirmation of what those of us running both bars would say.

Easier cornering, feels like the wheel is on the ground more when making sharper turns. Stiffer handling, more responsive on steering. Pretty much a more enjoyable ride.

When I had no strut bar at all, when making 45 mph turns on 30 turns, my tire would screetch a little bit, now it doesnt at all.

But remember I am lowered on Koni Yellow amd GC sleeves, oh also just found out my passenger side endlink broke so yeah lol. Time to upgrade after CAM.

Bumping a 2 month old thread since I just got this in. :lawl: I think I love the way it looks more than anything. Turn in seems a little more responsive, and the front also seems to stay planted a little better than with just the Neuspeed bar when cornering.

I also put a few felt pads between the bars, which have between 1/16" and 1/8" space as it is. I was happy that all the clips go in the same place, bar is pretty much identical.

Anyone considering installing this, take out any already present strut bar first…I realized that too late lol.
