They kind of scare me!
i just put on a front and rear strut tower bar today, not too sure about them yet. First of all, I was very confident in my car. It never felt like it was going to loose grip and even come close to spinning around. Today I put these bars on, so of course I had to hit up patterson road...WOW! They sure do change the cars handling a TON! I got into a little section and the back end got a lil squirley which has never happened with my car no matter how hard i push it!
The front feels very connected and solid, actually find it lil harder to steer. i havent pushed it to close to the limits b/c the streets are very unforgiving when it comes to making mistakes! So I cant tell if it going to understeer or not, but it feels like it might if pushed harder.
As for the back, its definately alot tighter also. As I mentioned above it wanted to come right out from beneath me, and I wasnt even close to the speeds I normally encounter through that turn.
So is this just normal since I just put a new part on my car it will take a while to get used to? should I try taking one bar or the other off to see how the car reacts? Change my driving style to suit the cars new handling characteristics? Leave it and just try to learn how the car wants to react? Or
Now dont get me wrong, the car does feel alot tighter. I guess Im just not used to it, I think my driving style actuals plays off of my body roll/flex. Im just not sure if this has hurt my cars handling or just made it better and im not used to how it reacts now...any opinions???
