You can drive a car on spare tires but that doesn't mean it'll function correctly. The same principal applies here.

 

98% of cars dont even COME with FSTB's, i dont see the comparison...

Im willing to bet that most people wouldnt even be able to tell the difference if they had to guess which Z had and didnt have a FSTB installed when they drove it...

Just sayin...a couple washers are def not going to make a difference...

 

The function of a strut bar will not be utilized with both front wheels under load. One or both of the wheels would have to have no load in order to feel the difference of a front strut bar. My point was, engineers aren't stupid, they're paid to conduct R&D for a reason.

 

My front strut doesn't fit anymore with my gtm tt (they refuse to send me the revised piping aswell but that's a diff story) and I barely notice a difference with out it. Def not hurting anything with it off
