| Just bought one made by apr from chad at rockblocker.com. It has a satin
finish and I was thinking about have it powder coated clear to protect it, so
I haven't installed it yet. | |

Like many of the parts they make for our cars, most are based on things that have improved cars in general as opposed to being designed to fill a specific deficit in the xB. Because of the proximity of the strut towers to the firewall, it may not provide as much benefit as it will in some other car designs and it may not make a night and day difference, but every little bit helps tighten things up, PLUS it looks good. | |

| yea its basically looks. if you want functionality, you would have to build a whole brace system for the whole engine bay i think. then you would have to do B, C, and rear strut bars to notice a difference. oh and dont forget the sway bars!
then youll have a car that handles really well. thats the suspension break down of it IMHO.

| I have a Meagan Racing strut bar. Nice looks, good price, easy to install. As far as only being for looks, it's all in your mind. If you think it works...it works. "Use the force Luke".  | |

| i noticed a difference in my handling when i put my strut bar in.
it's a bit tighter for sure.
when i add a rear sway bar, it will be even better  | |

| Mines a TRD. I got it about a month after buying the xB. I noticed a worthwhile improvement in mountain driving. Cool site, Radioman. | |
