3 Reasons You Need To Upgrade Your Strut Bars

Depending on your vehicle, strut bars could make a huge difference in handling and stability. You may know strut bars as “strut braces” or “strut tower braces,” but these terms refer to the same thing: a connecting rod that links your suspension strut towers. Now that you know what they are, here are three reasons you need to upgrade your strut bars.

Better Handling

Strut bars won’t change your car’s performance, but they can go a long way toward changing the way your vehicle feels. In layman’s terms, you should install strut bars to make your car easier to handle when you drive it in extreme situations. Hard corners and high speeds can lead to unpredictability, and strut bars cut down on that factor.

Stiffer Chassis

A strut bar keeps your chassis nice and stiff by increasing the overall rigidity of your vehicle. Older or lightweight vehicles have chassis that are more prone to body-roll and sway problems and may flex more when taking corners or driving over bumps. For that reason, if your car does not have issues with chassis flexing, a strut bar may not be as necessary.

Improved Cornering

Vehicles with the MacPherson strut suspension system are prone to experiencing high pressure while taking sharp corners, which results in significant wear and tear over time. The stress can even alter the alignment of your suspension geometry, which leads to unpredictability in tight spots.

Upgrading your strut bars can counteract these effects and help redistribute pressure evenly across your chassis. You may think that wear and tear of any kind is a problem, but the biggest dilemma is uneven wear. Pressure is inevitable, so your best bet is to ensure that the pressure doesn’t focus too much on any area.

Now that you know the three reasons you need to upgrade your strut bars, check out our selection of WRX strut bars and take your vehicle’s stability to the next level.
