How much improvement in handling does a Strut Bar do for our LS400. From what I've read it doesn't do much of anything but look cool in your engine bay. Any thoughts?

no thats not true.. you feel a difference.. the handling is slightly firmer.. i mean its not a drastic difference.. btu for 20-50 bucks.. its worth it.

Yeah, it won't be drastic, you might notice it being slightly firmer in hard cornerning. You need more than one bar to feel a serious difference.

I don't drive the car that fast in the corner cause the front tire will rub the front fender.So didn't feel any difference. But I have the strut bar installed anyway. It just look cool. and only cost me $40(used).

It isn't readily obvious on a stock car. Firming the suspension, adding wheels and tires, the brace does play a part. Given the low cost for a Supra version off that auction site...why not.

It isn't hard this way and so long as you have a stable/sturdy place to hold the bar...that is the main thing. Mark where you want the bend to be and make sure the bar is held firmly in that area.
