Ok. Haha.

Sorry for backing you into a corner and drilling you, I was just trying to prove a point. I didn't mean anything personal by it.

I have something I want to confess....I have been looking at one of those 4 point Neuspeed front strut bars. h:

If strut bars don't work in the first place, why did Honda/Acura go through the trouble of installing them on GSRs, ITRs, and CTRs? I'm sure they did not do it to make the engine bay look nicer, right?

Again, it is to promote understeer like almost all cars have from the factory. They got a thicker sway bar in the back than non-front strut bar equipped models and that front strut bar induces more understeer.
