luv the design...what's your thought on doing away with the strut bar?...is it needed with the design of the lower control arm you have come up with?...I'm thinking it's only function is for the braking force?
I like them there because, like you said braking force. I think it will take some for the stress from the rear of the K member and move it towards the front where the strut bar attaches. I think they will be strong.
