Best strut bar?

I just purchased a 2005 FX35 RWD fully loaded and want to add a strut bar. What brand strut bar would you recommend in order of best to worst? Please advise. NRG, STILLEN, GTSPEC, STRONG STRUT? Thanks for all the help!

2005 FX35 RWD.

I'm new here and ready to add something to my recently purchased vehicle. What strut bar is recommended or the best for the buck? Did some reading on forums and saw these brands mentioned....NRG, Stillen, Strong Strut, GTSpec?

best strut, strong strut

best for the buck, used stillen

My 2 cents is that you won't notice a handling difference; only aesthetically.

+1 or even a used nrg

only one thread is needed for the same topic you just asked. Threads merged.

Any reason NRG doesn't sell the aluminum stb? I only see it in titanium at tunersdepot.com.

It like what was said before...can't feel a lick of difference. If you are buying used would be the best bang for the buck.

Im sure they are all similar in terms of performance and you won't really notice any difference. The reason I purchased the GTSpec one was purely for aesthetic reasons. I love the wide and straight aluminum bar that spans across the engine bay. The only thing I dont like about it is the blue mounting points, but that's GTSpec's identifying color, but Ive seen other people paint that part. I also purchased mine for $199 shipped too.

I had the stillen strut bar and switched to the GT Spec bar and there is a noticable difference between the 2 bars the GTS bar is much stiffer IMO

I can't speak to the other makes but I can tell you the GT Spec is very heavy duty.

i felt a difference after installing a strut bar....but really didnt feel anything going from the stillen to the gt spec

 

[Das FX]

NRG or GTSPEC hmmmmm?

 

[Das FX]

Decided GT Spec. Where's the best place to buy? I'm in California. Thanks!

I got mine from b2autodesigns.com at:

http://www.b2autodesigns.com/product_info.php?cPath=13_26_86&products_id=104

I bought it for $199 which includes shipping. I could not find it cheaper anywhere else. The actual GTSpec part no. is GTS-SUS-1323.

Hmmm that is a good price, in fact it's better than the GB price I purchased my strut brace at.....

i agree, i have the same thing

I haven't checked http://www.b2autodesigns.com/product...roducts_id=104, but a lot of other places I called are out of stock until end of Oct.

It's been almost a month now, just go there and order it already! One of the best mods ever.

i didnt feel much difference with the strut bar. if u want to feel a difference, buy all the pieces and install them all at once. i drove around turning more than i needed cause i loved the way it felt. I too painted the blue on the strut bar black to blend in but left all the other pieces blue since they are not that noticable

http://www.b2autodesigns.com/product...roducts_id=104 out of stock as well. I'll check back with all 5 places I called towards the end of Oct.

Any reason why they don't make sway bars for RWD?

The rear sway bar from the FX45 will fit the FX35. No aftermarket options that I know about.
