	Is a Strut Tower Bar Really Needed?
		Therefore a strut tower bar tends to be in
		Even though the strut tower is designed mainly to manage vertical forces, 333 lbs in the horizontal direction is not going to permanently deform the chassis.
		What a strut bar does is tie the two strut towers together so that they share the load applied at the outer tower.

		Once the bar is tightened on the end mounts, spin the bar to lengthen or shorten it as desired until the end mounts sit properly on their respective studs.

	my.IS - Rear strut bar fitment problems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Installed the TRD rear strut bar and noticed that mounting plane of strut bar mounting bracket is uneven with the strut tower plane.
		As a result, the bar wobbles (before tightening the bolt) because the 2 surfaces are not sitting flush.
		My opinion is to tighten the bar down under normal vehicle load so there is no pre-stress applied to it and as you corner, the strut bar can do its work by resisting strut tower deflection in either compression or tension.

		Once again, if you are not accustomed to catching the rear end of a powerful rear-drive car, don't put a reat strut bar in.
		If you want additional bracing, the bar that comes in the RS (near the spare, not the strut towers) is a good choice.

		You don't want a strut bar that is too rigid anyway as there is a chance if it's too tight it can bend the struts.
		There is no correlation between the stiffness of the bars and the cause of the bent struts unless the struts had considerable impacts i.e.

	Rogue Engineering CF Strut Tower Brace:
		The concept of a strut bar is intended on reducing the flex between the front strut towers during hard cornering loads.
		This may be fine on a strut plate, but if the centerbar were to expand, this would negate any benefit of the bar since it would change the suspension settings in a negative manner (usually increasing positive camber).
		The aluminum ends of the center bar are secured with an aircraft exopy with such strength that the center bar would break first, before the expoy were to ever let go.
