I've seen pics of these on the internet but cannot find a specific model. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

Which strut bar are u looking at? There's some pricey ones on different Korean websites like shark racing, import shark, Korean auto imports. But many of us just went the ebay route and picked up one for the 1g eclipse for about $18 shipped.

1 gen Eclipse here! $18 well spent for nothing more than engine appeal.

 

[Calgary Canucker]

So there is no enhancement to the car, this is just a mod for looks?

 

[Number43]

Yeah the eclipse strut bar is strickly for show

 

[Calgary Canucker]

So are there any of them that is worth investing in, or is it just wasted cash at best

Thats a tough question. I haven't seen anyone post up on any forums about aftermarket strut bar specifically made for our Sonatas. If you purchase one, you might be the first (in my book) so please do share your experience if you come across one.

I sent importshark a email but it's been over 24hrs and no reply so I don't know what to say. I'll post if I do manage to find one though.

Strut Bar (3.3)

Thats a tough question. I haven't seen anyone post up on any forums about aftermarket strut bar specifically made for our Sonatas. If you purchase one, you might be the first (in my book) so please do share your experience if you come across one.

Old post I know but, I still have not seen a higher quality Strut Bar for the 3.3 models. I have the Ultra Racing for the 2.4i (killer by the way!) But not for the V6 models. UltraRacing & the No-Name Bars are the only two bars I find beneficial or an add to handling characteristics. This applies to the NF models 2006-2010.

I don't know Jon? Perhaps the Mighty V6 does not need a higher quality strut bar? I have never seen a need for one. I would like to see longer lasting stock parts if that means anything?

 

[cfrp]

ever thought about getting one custom made? most metal shops will be able to do it for a relatively low cost. And it'll be stronger than anything you can buy from a store or online.

I too have an Ultra Racing Strut Bar on my 2012 Sonata SE. I have noticed a slight difference in the handling, especially when on sharp turns at a higher speed. A lot of the guys out there also like the No Name Strut Bar.

Strut Bar...

BBB, neither the 2.4 or the 3.3 Sonata come stock with a Strut Bar. It is an after market addition. One that I have found beneficial in handling.
