is the richie strut bar v2 a worthy mod for suspension

hey guys i just wanted some opinions on the richie strut bars. the people who have installed these? how are they. did u feel any difference with these? will the strut bar fit with the stillen engine damper? because i know you cant use a mc brace with the strut bar.

The richie strut bar is more for looks... The relentless autosports strut bar is all about handling... Its worth every penny IMO

hmm so there is no point in getting the richie because i dont really want anything aesthetic at this point. looking to get better performance and handling. damn the relentless autosport is pretty expensive, have to save up.

I noticed a difference in handling when I got my NRG (same as richie) strut bar installed. I have heard from others that have owned both the NRG and ARC strut bars that the ARC bar is very strong and provides better results.

Send me a PM if you're truly interested because I may sell it before I get the RA bar. No real reason to wait, I'll manage without a front strut bar for a while, I suppose.

I've had Richie's strut bar on for over two years and I love it. With the
spacer trying to use a one piece bar is worthless. Richies bar is totally
adjustable and fits over my plenum with my 1/2" spacer with room to spare.
The only upgrade I made to his bar was grade 8 bolts so I can really tighten
it down, stainless bolts don't get it!
