Torched10 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Why does the 2011 not come with a strut bar OEM??

Did you look at any other bars before deciding on the JLT unit and what drove that decision? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1shetan Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 strut bars have always been a great addition for flexi cars when cornering and always highly recommended in verts, I have been thinking of adding one to our 11 vert but the local dealer/shelby guru said it may stiffen up the ride even further in the front since it elliminates the chassis flex that absorbs some of the bumps..............maybe someone that knows can elaborate about that.

axo250 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I have a 2011 non-SVT coupe and I added the FRPP strut tower brace. I purely bought it for looks and it looks good. I drive my car but I don't 'tear the curves up' and as far as I'm concerned, I really don't have any significant different in the handling or feel.
