Circuit Sports stut bar REVIEW



Only a couple days after I installed my Hotchkis sway bars, my Circuit Sports strut bar arrived. This install took like, 7 minutes lol. The only "problem" was having to remove the AC bracket on the drivers side. That's about it, simple bolt on. The only thing I was afraid of, is whether it would clear my APS Tallboy plenum... it did, with a few millimeters to spare, sweeeet. So it should also clear the Crawford plenums and plenum spacers.













I can't give a great review on the strut bar, since I'm still getting use to the sways, but overall, my car feels much stiffer.
Best of all, the price is great and it looks good too!

They are NRG carbon fiber. Yea, they work fine, I barely open my hood though.

You have to drill a hole on each side to use the dampers.

my ongoing concern with strutbars are if they will still mount for those of us with tein EDFC motors.

Do you have to remove the engine cover so that the bar can fit?

Looks good, and close to the plenum. Does the plenum touch the bar when the motor is revved?
