yung bang sinasabi mo e yung strut bar aka stabilizer bar? it helps kahit papano na makeep straight yung shocks mo sa harap and kung meron ka din sa likod it will do thesame thing basta adjustable e maganda

To take advantage of the strut bar, you may want to install some other parts which works in 'conjunction' with the strut bar.

IMHO, strut bar alone doesnt do much unless you have a thicker swaybar, stiffer springs, shortened shocks, ALC, poly bushings, heavy-duty endlinks, heavy-duty mounts, better tires. Heck, you can even change over and understeer by just adjusting the psi on front and rear tires.

IMHO, STB alone is just an eye-candy. STB is just to tie everything after doing the rest of the components. Lets just say, install the STB to finish your suspension upgrade.

Another thing to consider is "are you fast enough on turns that you need to support your stock suspension?" If you are not fast enough, then STB is just an eye-candy for your application.

If were are to ask me, you will benefit more on under-brace than the STB.

In addition, if your car's firewall is in close proximity of your strut tower, then STB is definitely an eye-candy. (WRX for example) In your case, 1999 civic, it will work far better than any car who's firewall is in close proximity. But like I said, start with the rest of the suspension components first.

Of course, people with STB alone in their car will dispute my opinion, I bet you my left nut they will.

a rear swaybar will help put in a bit of oversteer would it?

[Karding]

yes

[gwapito69]

teka meron ako lahat nyan.... dedespute ko yung sinabi ni karding.... isip muna ko ng sasagot ko bago ko magreklamo.. pero sa ngayon sang ayon ako kay karding. gaya din ng sabi ko yun lang ang magagawa ng strut bar mo...

[Karding]

nga pala, nakalimutan ko i-reference ang engine shot mo kapatid.

Ayan ang sinasabi ko na STB would work much better dahil malayo ang firewall sa strut tower. Pero ang 1999 Civic malayo din ang firewall sa strut tower eh.

Hindi lang maganda sa swaybar or underbrace, hindi kita ng mga tao :bwahaha:

[gwapito69]

pero kahit hindi kita e malaking tulong din lalo na sa cornering.... karding pede ka na palang reference pag may tanong about car upgrades nga pla meron akong audi TT gusto kong setupan sa tingin mo ba e worth it sya o hindi? just asking

audi TT? maganda iyan, ikaw ang pinakamabagsik na pinoy kapag naka Audi TT ka. Saka kapag naka-Audi TT ka, alam mo lahat

[gwapito69]

gagawin ko lang naman syang weekend driver e.. so palagay mo worth it na isetup? tsaka nagssawa na ko sa stock rims e gusto kong palitan ng siguro 19's o 18's para maganda... pero gagawin k muna yung advices mo about sa STB, sways and springs...
