front strut stress bar comments

[Huw Powell <human@nh.ultranet.com>]

The following is an excerpt (the interesting part...) of a bunch of junk
I just added to my www site.  URL below.  Should be up in about five
minutes.

(PS thanks Rick S. & who made it?)

The interesting thing to me was the result - I expected this to be
largely a "vanity" project, just for show and boasting, since I don't
race, and rarely get the safe legal opportunity to really push my car. 
Yet even trying to compensate for the DIY "placebo" effect (very common
in home loudspeaker building...), I am noticing a big difference under
normal driving conditions.  Now maybe my strut nuts were loose and
that's the difference.  What I notice is a much firmer steering response
and "cutting" or "carving" feel on normal everyday cornering.  On
mid-range cornering I also notice less body roll.  This is on curves I
consistently take at the same speed.  At first I thought there was no
difference because I took a few hard corners and the body roll was as
much as I remembered, but these were not turns I was familiar with.
