Right, so I’m back to the rear seat thing again lol… I’m wondering if a rear strut bar added more structural rigidity than rear seats, or vice versa, and by how much? (On my old saab, my car understeered like ass after I took out the rear seats).
if you want, i’ll delete this thread so that you don’t ever have to answer for it in the future 
please do. before he unleashes Pandora’s Box 2.0 SONLING version
Bing, don’t delete it. He didn’t learn the first time.
LOLOLOLOLOL
okokook most legit way to really with no trolling for his answer:
Go get yourself 3dmax or solidworks software or some engineering software to test chassis rigidity, rebuild the entire chassis to the spot weld, take out the back seats in the model and put in a strut bar, stress test. then put the seats back in . stress test again
The rear seats have an absolutely terrible youngs modulus, and are not attached to the chassis in structurally favorable areas. A strut bar (which is made of a much stronger material and can be preloaded) connects two sides of your suspension/chassis directly together. So the force inflicted on the chassis by the wheel through the suspension is then dispersed not only to that portion of the chassis (which is now stronger because of the box effect created by the strut bar) but is also absorbed by the strut bar itself and the portion of chassis attached on the opposing side.
What the fuck?
The only serious answer you’re gonna get.
I’ve heard JDM seats offer more structural rigidity and allow your car to achieve higher G-forces while pulling sick drifts. And you get mo’ bitches.
Lmao, how do you even come up with a question like this, clearly a strut bar is more rigid(less flexable) than the seats. Come on man.
Only serious because I’m sympathizing. Must be the weather. Ahaha, JDM seats don’t do shit for bitches while attending UOIT mang…
Yeah, you can’t advertise that. Just do what I do and mumble it so it sounds like UofT, then you can let that JDM suede work it’s magic.
THANKS. lol. I was talking about like the softer street strut bars vs like really well mounted seats.
I thought since the seats were mounted to both the bottom and the side (on cars I know, not the s13) it would be better for the bottom end rigidity and strengthening that would strengthen the sides a little too, letting the suspension forces dissipate into the chassis but not overworking it. I also thought seats would have helped with like the forward-back forces since strut bars only mount side-side.
Oh yeah, and seats cover more area of the chassis lol but yeah I’m a dumbass.
goddamnit
bahahahaha
I have better days I promise lol
Does your S13 even work?
come on phonso you’re better than posting broken links
It’s running now, but it’s running really shit lol. Just a bit more work and I think it’ll all be k.
