REAR strut tower bar-thinking bout making one

[FullStop]

well, like the topic says, I'm thinking about making a rear strut tower bar, , any thoughts on materials, i have alot of steel around the house, but i am wondering if steel will be too heavy, aluminum would be ideal, but i cant weld aluminum.

Is there an alternative to making it?, is there a rear strut tower bar available for this car that i can purchase or sould i just make it?...2002 mazda 323

thanks for any opinions etc

boi here what to do fabricate one using steel or pipe make all the parts as perfect as you can when you test it and get what you want have some one like tolas or mack ranpersad do it in aluminium for you then all ah we could go get one

i have some steel that i can cut and try, but it might be heavy, and remember, it will be a one piece, non adjustable eh, if you say i can get it made in aluminum afterward, i think i'll give it a try^^^mig sound like a real trouble maker yes

interesting, i think instead of cutting steel, i'll see if i find a used strut bar and once it will fi, i can just re-weld the correct brackets to it

what differences can i achieve to my handling with this rear strut bar...........alsoo how much is it gonna cost me

[FullStop]

well the rear mx6 bar is 350, the reason i looking into it is cus when i gunnin round the corners my rear does fling out and i does get sum rear tire screeching, very little, but i dont want none

[Protege 2NR]

oh well i dont need this then...i doesnt get that problem...i does go roung corners sometimes at bout 100 and no screech

[red bwoy]

ahhhhhhhmmmm 100 goin round ah corner on de highway not fast eh my gyul could do that wid de children in de car tell mih 150 up well dat different

[FullStop]

exactly, like red bwoy say, not no lil corners thing, i know what a stock 323 could do, and a stock 323 cant corner like mine, i have the mazdaspeed springs, they does keep the car real flat on the corners, i not talking bout body roll, thas just a memory.i talking narrow roads and s curves. highway is waay different, once i was running the 3 on the northbound on the corner before chase village flyover, doing 180, all i can say is i frighten the man in the galant who was on the overtaking lane, understeer is very hard to overcome at 180, cus i cant accelerate anymore at that speed...keep that in mind grasshopper, until you learn things about countersteering and compensating for understeer and what not drive under or at the speed limit or you might become one of those idiots that kill somebody chile, and we dont want or need that

[TurboDrive]

Understeer is a beyotch!!
