Message	johny(houston) recommended removing the strut tower bar to INCREASE grip during high speed turns (on the race track). So I A and B compared them and noticed a huge difference. With the bar, the car didn't want to turn. I got excessive push. Without the bar, the car was much sharper and crisper. it was night and day difference, not just a little bit. for daily driving and street racing, sure, do it. car feels good with it. definently noticable that theres a bar there. but for real driving, i recommend ditching it. keep in mind, our cars have very stiff unibodies. witness the really terrible accidents people have and survive. i think the strut tower bar makes the car too stiff and prevents it from going neutral. imho. i forever will leave mine off. plus, it was the only polished/chrome thing in the engine bay, so it kinda looked funny.
