Hmmm...sounds like it's the original design. The revised version that just came out last month is more expensive.

 

[mountscion85xb]

there is a revised version?
whats different?

 

[Geezer]

It mounts differently using a ball joint end link rather than bolting directly to the bottom shock mount.

Geezer is describing the sway bar.
The strut brace/bar is in the engine bar and attaches to the bolts at the top of the front struts.
The rear suspension on out boxes uses shock absorbers, rather than struts.

I've been considering getting a front strut bar... You guys with it notice much of a difference? Also, how come there aren't rear strut bars :dontgetit: (or at least they aren't very popular)?

I did one on mine. Mainly just for the looks upfront. The motor needed something more in there. I am running hotchkis sway bars front and rear. So I didnt notice a night and day difference. But it does add something to our motor.

WE don't have rear struts. We have shocks.
The top of struts flex a bit, as they work different than shocks, combining the work of upper a-arms with the work of shocks.
As the top of the rear shocks aren't moving (they are WELL locked in by the main vehicle structure), connectors aren't needed.
A strut bar links and locks the 2 strut tower tops together, reducing flex.

Not only are they securly monted, but the xB has rear I-beam axle. Meaning there is no side to side flex or movment. Only up and down. So a upper rear bar would be absolutly pointless and just waste space in the rear trunk.

THAT is what I was thinking by vehicle structure . . .
Plus, the rest of the rear structure.

The issue in the front is the HUGE gap wherein the mill sits.
