strut bars in r33 gtst ?


Recommended Posts

I had a strut bar and 2 sway bars, front n rear for my proton back in malaysia...killer handling after that!! get em if u find them...I've been meaning to do the same to my R33. Can't find the parts tho :D

Do the sway bars for an R33 dip down to the ground a little? cos mine did...they were evo sway bars. height above the road was a little less than 2 inches. scratched it countless times.

But seriously, the car became a speed machine cos I could just fly around corners and the chassis barely rolled or did anything to slow it down.

steve on these forums gave me a ride in his car with sway bars, strut bar and very good suspension ... i couldnt' beleive how good the handling was!!! go sways as they will definitely make it handle better ... go strut for the rice ... go bilstein or koni for good street shocks ... go jap if u want to break your back!! :D

is sway bar = stabiliser bar? under the car, the slightly crooked one? I got this silver nismo bar under there. I am guessing that is it

What else helps with handling and cornering?

- Sway bars f/r

- Strut brace f/r

- Suspension f/r

Is CUSCO a good brand for strut brace?

sways = stabaliser bar = anti-roll bars.

Other things you can improve on are bushes. Most factory bushes are too soft and get worse with time. This improves the feel of the car.

Shocks with matched springs also help. And tyres and brakes. Tyres are the only part of the car that touch the road so their role in handling is absolutly critical to the suspension.

I agree with Silver-Arrow, tyres will make abig difference too but also simple things like a good wheel alighnment will do wonders aswell. Remember guys, it all works as a package as everything is interconnected in some form or another. Really swaybars and strutbars together will make a noticeable difference as swaybars stop your body roll and stabilises the car around the corner but strut bars stop the flexing between your strut tops when conering hard and stops your wheel alighnment from going out of whack. you will also notice that the front end will not understeer as much with a front strut bar. Springs and shocks will control your damper and rebound and keep your car stuck on the road instead of bouncing around the place. if you want more feel then also change some of your factory rubber bushes to nothalane ones. Get your selves hooked up with a good suspension specialist and they should be able to take you through step by step on good and worthwhile upgrades while not going overboard in one area. Sorry for the long post but i seem to see that alot of people are askin the same questions over and over again.
