Not really the roads are pretty good were I live but when I go down some roads that are a little bumpy I notice it . Also it seems since I put my PRL strut bar on I swear it got more stiff. But whats crazy is it Even feels like the rear of the car got more stiff. I’m thinking maybe because I’m looking for it now and paying more attention for changes after the strut bar install. I noticed my trip up to Ortega highway running up and down the twistie bits I love the suspension stiff and put it in R mode going down the hill. But going up the lane is a lot more bumpy so comfort is the way to go. So is it someone I know selling it ?😆?
Anyway before the strut bar install I felt no need to swap out the ADS.
What a amazing piece of equipment that PRL strut bar must be. Not only does it look fantastic at C&C it seems to stiffen the chassis by at least 25%

I cant't tell if you are being facetious. I didn't think these made that big of a difference on these cars.

Knowing @Tougefl5 thats a hard one to answer 😆
My guess is yes he was being Facetious lol but I gave him the benefit of the doubt .
But it really does feel more stiff to me on a serious note.

I have a hard time telling any difference after installing strut bars ....
I was really surprised I did and honestly wasn’t expecting it. Handling wise these FL5’s feel so good stock it’s hard to tell a difference but maybe on a track pushing it to the limits you can.

Everyone feels different inputs. The fella clearly noticed a substantial improvement. I'm just happy he is happy 😊
I wouldn't expect anything less of you ;)

Just did this today. Super easy! I did not disconnect the battery, just did it with the car off. Took less than 15 minutes.

Thanks to @PointByPatrol for the great video!
Nice mine should be here tomorrow or Tuesday.
I agree @PointByPatrol gave me the courage to finally get one with the simplicity of his install video 👍🏻👊🏻

Just got back from the track, and I have to say, while I didn't feel a difference on the street, I definitely felt a difference on the track. Car was much more compliant in the Climbing Esses, and at the exit of Roller Coaster. I was quite pleased with it!
