Strut bar question!

[Dan4g63]

I got a question for you guys.
For a FWD what will be better to get first?, front strut bar or rear. I am asking because someone said for FWD cars get a rear strut bar and for RWD get a front strut bar.

What about AWD? What will make the biggest diffrence?

Oh and is Pilot any good? Anyone here have a Pilot front strut bar?

Both?
I think i'd go with the front first, thats where all your wieght is.

Thanks.
I just realized that of course the front one will make the most diffrence.

"FWD cars get a rear strut bar and for RWD get a front strut bar."

change 'strut' to 'antisway' and this statement would be true.

Yes get a front first, you'll noticed a difference. The rear maybe not so. The fact that it is FWD do not change this criteria, when you steer the first stress that comes to the car is in the front.

Pilot is fine. Their strut bar don't flex, and thats all I care. I have seen some cheap bars that flex, not good.

There was a long discussion on the Digest about rear STB on a FWD car - there was no certain answer - it helps but how much no one can tell. However front STB - is a definatelly a big plus!

I put my strut bars on about 2 weeks apart. I put the rear one on first and I thought that it showed the most difference because the rear of the car is so light it rolls a lot on sharp turns. Rear strut took car of that problem. All together though with the front and rear strut bars my car is very stable and body roll is pretty much nonexistant.
