I just got in my Cusco Strut Bar and of course it looks great. What I'm concerned about if it's any better then the stock strut bar? The Cusco Strut Bar seems to flex with some effort, as the stock bar won't even flex at all.
I don't think it's too big of a deal, but buying a aftermarket strut bar one would think it would be just as good if not better.
Are the Greddy and JIC strut bars also flexible? Anyone else concerned about the strength of the Cusco Strut Bars, especially under heavy tracking?

you can run without the strut brace and you would be hard pressed to notice a difference on a nearly stock car - the chassis of the car itself is quite stiff
you can also move the stock one too if you step on it - it bends
any of the aftermarket ones are stylistic mods

The weight difference between the two are very noticable. Although the stock strut bar feels more solid.

IMO nothing beats the stock bar. I don't even think it's all that ugly and it has the best price of any aftermarket strut bar - basically no additional cost
IMO the only strut bar worth possibly considering over stock is the SPL bar that isn't out yet
