Megan racing strut bars

[Littleguy]

Does anybody have these? Any reviews? A friend told me that with strut bars as long as they don't break it really doesn't matter what brand you get, is this true? Sorry for the questions, I'm dumb when it comes to suspension stuff.

Someone had RMM, APR, and Hypermotive front strut bars on their car, and they said RMM was the stiffest, closely followed by APR, and Hypermotive was basically useless except for looks.

obviosly a stiffer bar would deliver stiffer suspension......at least that's the way I always thought of it.

BTW, your sig is HUGE! ;) Please resize it to 500x250 max. :)

I am also interested in purchasing these because of their prices. So are they any good?

[Littleguy]

Thanks for the help guys I decided to buy the front and rear strut bars just because for that price I might as well try them out. I'll post a review when I get them and they're installed.

My friend got sponsered by them. Their front strut looks just like Tanabe.

I don't think their strut bars are meant for performance. More for looks.

dam. i bought a megan front strut bar today from a celi member who decided to sell it. so when i tried to install it, the bar was hitting the positive terminal. i was upset. wasnt sure if it was my fault. so i returned it.

it shoulnt have hit any terminal. If it hits the red terminal, you need to move a full 90 degrees so that is pointing towards you motor. If its hitting the black terminal you might have to just loosen your battery tie down and move the battery farther away from the bar(closer to the front of the car). The only thing i noticed that it hit was the battery tie down screw part.

The blue circle is where the srew part touches the bar...I just put a double sided paper tape to keep it from damageing the bar.

oh coo. thanks. how do you like that strut bar. i thought it looked coo. ill see if i can get the bar again

[slvceli]

Yeah make sure you move the terminals to the side. I cut some of the screw on the battery tie down off (blue circle above) so I hope that doesnt really matter. I have nothing to compare the strut bar to since I have never used another strut bar but it def. helps. I went out driving with it and fast turning is a lot more better and can be taken at higher speeds. I liked it so much I went out driving again later that night.

its a good bar...if you have other suspenions mods to you car you should feel a bigger noticeable difference in handle contral. I drove my friends Celica with the RMM strut and it feels the same. Even if its not a one peice it dosent really make too much of a noticeable differece to chassies stiffness. I personally like the bar. Its also cool if you have a raised hood scoop and the MR logo becomes visible if you look inside the scoop.
