I hope your mentioning body roll and these bars is purely coincidental and non-associated, since chassis bars will do nothing for body roll.

i thought they strenghtened the chasis which gave it less body roll...
if not wot do they do then

struts bar are used to strengthen chasis to provided firmer ride on suspension and steering accuracy...i had a 4 point role cage in before...and the car was solid as a rock...but i sold the cusco role cage...big regrets..wanna get another one now...
