well, i just recently bought a neon strut bar off of ebay...came to like $18 and wasnt to happy with it when i first got it because i had to pre fab my own 3 holes...none lined up at all....but anyway i got it taken care of and it fit nice and snug....it's actually quite nice and it looks good in the engine bay.....anyway...after puttin it on and driving around with it for a while now i noticed the car is much tighter...so much that i cant take turns as fast as i use to because my @ss end is kickin out...never noticed this before i put it in.....so now im thinkin do i take it back out because it was better with it out and i could stay into the turn?? or do i get either a rear sway bar or a rear strut bar to cancle the front one out.....has anyone noticed or fixed this problem who has had one of these strut bars put in may it be a trd front strut bar or just a regular neon one?? im defentally gettin somethin in the @ss end but would a sway bar be too much or can a rear strut bar fix the problem? also where to go to get a rear strut bar if that is the case? i had a big bag of sement put in the back of my car too and that help fix the problem with the extra weight back there but i dont want to lug that around with me all the time...any sugestions? thanks

If you honestly feel that the bag of cement is going to do alot better then just getting rid of your lead foot I would encourage any passangers of yours to ware a helmet and safty harness. Taking turns at a high speed is not a smart idea in itself, 75 mph is just stupid. Hopefully your "ass end roll out" is more in your head then actually happening but if/when you do lose control on your 50% tread tires I hope you land safely upright and seatbelted.


Let me get somethin straight with everyone on this forum....my intentions are not to brag about how fast i am going but i thought the whole concept of this forum was to ask question and get somewhat educated answers....i always wear my seatbelt and my passengers ALWAYS do also...that is completely irrelavent to the problem at hand....ok so im doin 10 mph over the speed limit...dont tell me you have never gone 10 mph over the speed limit....if you read your license book before you took your test for your license you would have read that the on and off ramps are suggested speed limits due to trucks unable to go around them as fast as a car....if the car can handle it and theres noone around then why not?....now to answer your smart ass remark about it being in my head...its not my fault if i can handle a car better then you.....im not retarded and unable to tell that my car is starting to lose control.....the problem is that it wont handle as good as it use to......when you can come up wit a more inteligent answer to solve the problem like many others have above you then post back....thanks for the concern though

are these turns you're taking on the freeway?

if they are street n ur trynta take turns at about 50-60mph ur ass is gonna slide. if on the freeway n its slidin out, then you got a prob.

if ur doin it on the street, this aint no fast n furious. i've known 5 people to total 8 cars cuz they drive like idiots on the street. all of em are rich n mummy daddy bought em new ones.

jus cuz u can go fast doesn't always mean you should.

maybe this ass rollin out is just a sign for you to slow the hell down.


now to answer your questions, yes they are on the freeway....no im not the asshole ricer that fly's around every single turn that i make to show off how cool i am..i agree with you when you say its stupid but its also dangerous....the only place i really "put it to the test" is commin onto the freeway or if its an off ramp onto another freeway where i still have a safe amount of room to do so.....nd i dont know what to tell you about your rich friends...there parents are just smacked asses......any suggestons to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated.....im still feelin the rear strut bar is the best way to go
