So this is the one I was looking at

http://www.sharkracing.com/01-06-elantra-strut-bars/

Is this one any good? I was planing on getting a front on and a rear one. Are there any others you know if that might be better? Just trying to get some info on some of the things I plan to buy this summer. Thanks guys!

Here is a thread I started awhile ago about this. Needless to say, I never got them. Not yet anyways.

It looks like the PTUNING ones are still available. Songee helped me with this. NO PIVOT POINTS. lol.

Ok I'll probably get that one then. And since it's for the tiburon it should fit fine on the Elantra? What about the rear? Know any good ones? Are there any the same brand as the front one?


Edit: this one

I really thought to buy that one too from Shark Racing but as far I understand from people its not going to make a difference with the stock soft suspension that I have but I'm still curious about that .. Cause in sharp turns I really can feel how the car doesn't really want to coporate.

on the hatch you have a large open area from front to back so the rear brace pulls the back end together. on the sedan you have the rear deck that pulls the rear together and that is way bigger then the rear strut bar.

Strut bars are a waste of $$ unless you autocross and on a sedan the rear strut bar is a bigger waste of $$ if you do get a front strut bar get one that is solid without any pivot points that allow any flex.

this one is a tiburon one and will fit the elantra is one of the best options

Ok that's a bunch. I always like more options. I was planing on getting ksport coilovers and a strut bar and then someday maybe I'll take it on a track.

I was going to go with that (I think) OEM Hyundai tiburon strut bar. But if course someone bought it. Anyone know where I can get an oem one? Would it be cheaper or just better to get an aftermarket one. The one I wanted to get was a really good price. Guess I should have jumped on it earlier.
