Default Center Bar? Worth It?

I have a 01 Tib, and I have he SR front and rear Strut Bar...

I am wondering if the Center bar (Between Seatbelts) makes that much of a difference...
Thanks in Adance..

Hi Choopi

Basically it boils down to personal preference.....the purpose of the centre bar is to stiffen and reinforce the vehicle's mid body frame...while you have better handling respond, but you will have more squeaking sound coming from your car's plastics and to a certain point feel vibrations of uneven road surface....

They say with handeling the stiffer the chassie the better!

Now that is it mentioned I have front & rear strus bars a rear sway bar and an under bar, I do thin my ride is might be a bit more rough. I seem to feel the road more. But I don't mind.

Centerbar that we offer is having.
It adds a little more stiffness to your chassis.

To help reduce noise, you can unbolt the strutbars and rebolt them.
Some vehicles that had hard type suspension only couldn't even fit strutbars in since the chassis was so twisted already.

It is good to have but it will NOT hurt even if you don't have one.

If want the best handling possible and are willing to sacrafice a little ride comfort, which really doesn't mix with sporty handling anyway, then get it. You'll notice a deffinate difference after you put it on.
