So Moon, getting back to the subject of the strut brace. Where did you get it from. I would like one even if it doesn't add much improvement. I still like how they look

 

I love all this Nenner-nenner-nenner, talking out your anal hole.
Unless you autocross or run some track time, a strut bar is useless on the street, and only for looks. If you run hard enough on the street for it to even make a difference, better save some money for tickets, and higher insurance.

Agree with that,this board can be full of s sometimes (just calling 'em like I see 'em )

 

keep us informed, interested to know how much it would cost when it goes into production, I am not worried about aesthetics but handling capabilities. though i do not think my HHR has much body flex, but extra stiffening can't hurt.

 

I agree that the hhr seems to have good lateral and torsional stiffness. However I have ran multiple fwd platforms with strut tower braces and notice a quicker response in steering input and a more connected feel. If anything this may benefit drag racers more so than daily drivers because any extra torsional stiffness can help the front tires from losing traction through weight transfer side to side. Again it's probably marginal and just my opinion, though I too have an engineering and a multimedia programming and development degree, so I have some inkling of physics, real or imagined. :-). Keep us informed moon, id be interested once it's hit market.

 

Bottom line. Where can I get one???

 

can't...have one made up

 

Where?????

 

any fabricator...machine shop...welding shop...hot rod shop.....anybody who races, especially dirt/asphalt roundy round track guys
