This was all on Koni Yellow's and Apex springs..

After that experience I never really bothered with strut bars after that as I just couldn't see the need for them. With the boxster having a 4pt cage already there it seems pretty stiff as is. I have not done any auto-x with my Box at all so if you see some results from them, please post I would love to see it. Maybe with a car that has no roof the difference will be more pronounced...
Hi,

Trust me, the difference is quite pronounced. The Car handles better and is less prone to rattles and squeaks. Doing both the Front and Rear is maybe the best Mod you can make in improving the Car, not Sexy as both are hidden, but transforms the Car. The RollBars do NOTHING in terms of stiffening the Chassis, add the Strut Bars and find out...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
