What kind of strut bar is better on a 3.5 SE?

Also if there are others that I don't know about please let me know. Thank you.

All strut bars are identical in what they do so just buy one made for your car (Allows enough clearance for engine movement). And be done with it because at the end of the day its just a name. I prefer Stillen myself.

Yes I agree, but if you have a 3.5 the racingline will fit better if you have an AEM intake. The stillen one will fit also but it will be a lot harder to install.

I found it rather difficult to get everything lined up and tightened in the right order by myself on the racingline STB with the intake installed, but if you have any other intake or not intake at all then either one will fit perfect.

also, the racingline one is about $100 cheaper, but stillen has the name. so It's pretty much comes down to preference.

either way it's an awesome improvment, I noticed a huge decrease in body roll. It feels like you are diving through the turns instead of feeling like your car is gonna roll. (i know it wont tho ;-P)

I made the same statement about a year ago.

Neither Racingline nor Stillens STB bars are more performance oriented than the other for a daily driver. All it comes down to is your visual taste.

They are both very high quality STB's.

I just put the Racingline STB in and I love it. The car should have come with it for all I think. Really tightens up the front end, potholes and speedbumps are almost non-existent. It's a great deal and an even bettter product

This makes no sense man. Which is harder to install?
