Whats the difference b/t a 4 point front strut bar and a regular 2 point strut bar?

Hey Everyone i just wanted to know the difference b/t a 4 point front strut bar and a regular 2 point strut bar? I was also wondering why the new R3 has a 4point and not a 2point? Jw because i was thinking about getting a front and rear strut soon. I was also wondering if I would feel the difference when i go autocrossing? Anybody reccomend any particular bar(set) from experience?Thanks

You won't feel any difference. I don't think there is any difference between stock front strut bar and aftermarket either. I don't know about rear strut bars though.

Most difference will come from Sway bars, as far as struts i couldn't tell too much so i went back to stock. sway bars on the other hand makes the car totally different in corners and out the gate.

you will feel a difference.

but its just more vibration into the car due to bolting up to the firewall.

I didn't feel any difference between stock strut bar and my JIC 4 pt. I can't speak for anyone else though.

jic is hinged where it attaches to the firewall so it doesn't transmit as easy.
