I dont know if I should ask Pingu this but does that strut bar make a difference in reducing body roll???


Anyone else other than pingu who tried it can they please answer my question.

Thanks,

always thought tower bar works best with lighter car to reduce flex but for E60, I think it's more cosmetic wise. Damn thing is too heavy.
