Front/Rear Strut Bar Design.

Tension, torque is something different. you Want Tension. as well if your frame is old, ( which all S13/240’s are ), you can get some pretty good sag, the preload, when setup at an alignment shop will help to bring the frame back into shape… IF this is just a show pc. then fine… but take a look at some of the other tower bars that are multi element I think you;ll find that instead of going from tower to tower with that setup if you triangulated and went from tower to tower and from tower to firewall you’d have a much better ’ performance ’ product… as well in th rear tower to tower but also tower to rear floorpan , again triangulated and preloaded you’d have a much better product.

yea, what I meant was tension, I just couldnt think of the term at the time.

i am currently making a triangulated rear bar that will tie onto the floor and towers like you said, but it will not have any adjustment. Will this be a problem? other triangulated bars such as the cusco dont have any adjustment.?

Will having the car lifted off the ground so there is no force on the towers, and makings the bar to size so that there is some tension between towers be sufficient? or will i need to have any tension at all? the towers will be in a neutral position, and when the car is lowered will stop the towers from angling towards each other, so will it not be doing its purpose?

Thanks in advance for the help.
