Strut Bar, is it worth it?
So I just graduated from college and I was wondering if I should drop some money on a strut bar for the GS. I know there exists at least one strut bar for the GS, however, after having installed a Stillen strut bar on my Infiniti FX a few years ago I was less then impressed. So is it worth even considering?

Well it helps reduce sway when entering a corner. It also helps limit vibration when going over speed bumps. It tightens your chassis up. For a full effect, you would need rear braces as well (not sure if they make those).
IMO, its always a plus to add it. |
Thanks for the quick response, btw. I don't want to go too crazy on mod's, however, I want something I'll really enjoy. The K&N for example was one of the best mod's I could have done. Will I even enjoy the strut bar if I don't have the rear?

it might stiffen up the steering a bit, but don't expect night and day wow feeling. those bars and braces, their gains are usually marginal. for big changes, you should look at sways or maybe coilovers
