Front Strut Bar [CL9)

Hey guys,
Just been doing some research on front Strut bars for the CL9,
had a look through the forum as well.
Most seems to have the Cusco front strut bar, however i got recommended the Aultec Front Strut a head of the Cusco, J's Racing and Spoon (Spoon - fitment issues).

Has anyone heard anything about them?
Any feedback on the ones you guys have will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Depends on what you're after. Most people get Front Strut Bar for the look (I'm considering one). Doesn't really do anything for the car's handling though. I would say grab the best looking one or the cheapest one. J's Racing is made from Carbon Fibre and looks awesome but has a price tag to match.

LOL Who gets them for the look???? Front strut bars improve chassis rigidity in the front. You should notice a big difference if you have a stiff suspension setup.

..... Can't tell if there is sarcasm in this or not. The CL9's have fairly rigid chassis already, then there's the fact that you'll get more upgrading your rear sway bar than you do front strut bars, especially since the car is FWD. In fact, the front strut bar alone will provide little to no benefit at all to a car that's had no mods done to it, at least the average driver won't notice it.

most people get cusco but it rubs due to being made for the k20.

Alutec fits good but looks wiered.

I would get ebay strut brace though

get ebay one. it's the same.

I would rather save the money and do the other mods.

Id disagree, however I have both top and bottom bars.

Having just the RSB make the rear end of the car react better, however having the front all locked up makes the euro more reactive during initial turn in.

My bad then. I don't know CL9's. Just know that whenever I've installed them on cars, I've noticed a huge difference. Very pronounced.

The front strut brace makes a difference for sure. It stiffens up the front end and the steering becomes more direct as a result.

I have the alutec front and the progress 22m rear sway. (from Heeltoe)

Been sitting in the garage for almost 6 months....lol

too much to do, so little time (that and Im lazy)

The steering wheel gets lighter aswell, after I installed the strut bar, or it could just be something weird about my cl9.

In theory it does affect steering response and feedback. so I dunno it probably does

When I installed the front strut bar, I couldn't tell a difference.

When I installed the front lower arm bar, steering response improved significantly!

When i had my prelude i had a neuspeed front strut on it....it made the front end so firm and taking corners it seemed so much more stable...
And im hoping it will be like that with the CL9.

Has one got the spoon strut?
