Hi All,

I had cusco front strut bar installed in my cd5 today and noticed that the steering is heavier on low/medium speed turns.

The bar is not too tight. Should I be concerned about the heavier steering?


Thanks
Rahul

bar not on too tight?? it should of secured on well.
front bar will create more understeer, upgrade rear strutbar, and/or swaybar which has more effect.

the bar is secure and it is not too tight.

the front end feels a bit more together now, maybe the heavier steering due to increased initial understeer? Once the weight has transferred to the front, it feels more composed.

my next upgrade is the rear swarbar to either 18/20 mm, most likely from shelbys

Also for reference, i have eibach sportline and koni yellows.
