Default Strut bars.....

So the wife wants a strut bar now for the car. Do they make a noticeable difference and is one brand better than another? Looking at a spohn or bmr bar.

Founders performance. but you won't notice much if any difference. Save your money and get the subframe connectors. Those you will notice.

I used Spohn strut tower brace and subframe connectors on my convertible. Car is nice and tight, no rattles and handles well. I added both at the same time so I cant confirm which option worked better, but together they did make an improvement.
