c-pillar bars? "ghey" or not?

i see these things all over... do they actually help with handling or are they just a visual piece more than anything?

it'd only be worth it if it helped... otherwise its just an obstruction of my view out of the rear.

A good one will stiffen the chassis, but the actual effect of it on your driving experience is negligible. Kind of like strut tower bars.

I think they're cool, though...a good mod if you have most of your chassis work done.

Believe it or not u do feel a difference with strut bars and c pillar bars with high speed turns, it reduces the body anc chassis flex amazing, when u have them it doesnt feel like much but when u go back and do the exact same high speed turns u feel the difference when the are removed

I didn't notice a difference with mine. They were cheap ones, though.

After sway bars, springs/shocks, strut tower braces, bushings, tires...then i'd get something like this.

like tream rukus said get a 4 point if you can and yes if its a good one you will feel the difference and you will know its workign if afdter 2 or 3 months you start to hear squiking and you have to re tighten them that means they are flexing and tightening you chassi (doing the job)
