Re: Strut bars

Nice to see that the pieces are working on your Capri.

Couple of things:

1. Check out the way the SVX's strut housings are basically built into the firewall. Subaru build the SVX like a boat. There is NO NEED for an upper strut bar.

2. If you check under the SVX, you'll see that it already has a lower rear bar. Subaru called is a "sports bar"

3. Could the SVX benefit from a lower front bar? Uncertain. I can only say that over 15 years of autocrossing SVXi with varying levels of suspension modifications, I haven't seen any evidence of flex that such a bar would address.

Cheers
Bill
