Installed. Yep, def noticeably stiffer in the front end when going thru curves at speed. I had a similar experience with installing a bar in my Abarth 500. Everyone posted that it was useless, purely esthetic. In reality, big diff in handling on street and on track.

Thank you, was wondering how strutbar fitted on Corolla with struts so far back

@j.p.9630 Жыл бұрын

As long as the bracket it is connected to is connected to the strut tower. It should work as intended

@pspgamerserjio 29 күн бұрын

It's bolted to the side of the fender

I hate to say it. But that looks like 100% a show piece.

@JohnnyTranJTP Жыл бұрын

It probably helps a tiny bit. But depending on how thick or thin that struct tower bracket it. IT probably won't do much on track.

No , you can still access the oil cap.

Glad you like it! I've seen some studies or data (for 3 series BMWs, I think) that showed strut bars on some older models (e30, maybe e36) have some noticeable effect, but almost no difference on newer gens (e46+)... and as with most vehicles I think the chassiss have gotten rigid enough that they don't do much other than look fancy and make some maintenance take longer for some tasks, haha.

@Zack_Axel 7 ай бұрын

You’re not wrong, after installing a beefy front strut brace on my e46 M3 the entire front end became too stiff and the car started to understeer under hard corners.

I installed mine today after watching your video which was helpful, thank you! I felt bad for you as those harness clips are super easy to remove, just get pliers and grab the two tabs on the bottom of them and then you can pull them right out.

@dmrxvii 5 ай бұрын

For that model is just cosmetic... u can significantly say the difference when connecting it to both shockbreaker support

@mpgcamo 5 ай бұрын

Being that the GR Corolla has a steel brace joining the strut towers which also ties into the firewall in a number of spots. Any aftermarket strut brace only is purely for show and ultimately a waste of money

@mpgcamo 5 ай бұрын

The caveat to this though is that if you remove the steel OEM brace/cowling maybe because your running aftermarket coilovers with adjustment etc. a brace between the towers could replace the OEM piece.
