strut bar

i searched the forum and the only one i found was this one:

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...ighlight=strut

but i was wondering if there was a strut bar that was nice and simple, kind of like the one on the 350z:

Is something like this really only needed if you going to be autocrossing, or can you feel a difference in daily driving?

Noticed a little bit better handling, but this mod for me was just because i like having that in the engine bay Sway bars and springs are next. then there will be a VERY noticable difference, not that it doesnt handle well already, but now itll handle like a lambo!

Would it make a difference? The only problem I would see is the engine cover if they are different, or are the strut towers different?

Our current strut tower brace only works with the V8 cars because of the intake manfold and engine cover of the V6 cars sits so high and creates clearance issues. We are in the process of designing and fabricating a strut tower brace for the super charged guys which "should" work for the V6 guys since tolerances are ver y similar. I will update you guys when I find out more information about the super charger strut tower brace.

Here is a video of the pfadt bar and how it works, this is the best engineered bar on the market (IMO)
