Are these STI so called flexible parts worth it or are these Japanese snake oil?https://www.sti.jp/en/special/flexible/Their explanation is just handwaving and buzzwords, and I wonder how it compares to conventional parts, normal strut bars etc.How is this stuff not placebo, like those necklaces with magnets the rednecks claim are improving their blood flow and balance.
nigga japan has the world's largest market for automotive accesories, so its only natural that their companies have invented all sorts of snake-oil-tier garbage to profit off retards who want to "improve" their car. we're talking about a country that has invented fucking "door stabilizers", because apparently from the factory your doors arent stiff enough. looking at japanese tuning companies' I cant help but laugh at soem of the bullshit they sell.
or how about some fucking sun visors that improve steering stability? No ventilation performance tho:(
>>28688840Now that's some bs.
>>28688833Now I know why weeblet ricelet stancelet slowfaglet boyracelets always rice their slow 4cylinderlets with these
>>28688833door stabilizers are actual improvements on some carst. miata owner with a set
>>28688840https://www.trdparts.jp/product/grparts/gr_sports_side_visor.htmlLmao. They worry about the tiniest thing and still put big ass flat-faced bumpers with fake air intakes.
>>28688906They are talking about the hinge side not the cup side

>>28689683Are we looking at the same picture? That clearly shows the striker and latch
>anon, surely you do worry about the Ions in your flow's boundary layer, don't you?
>>28689683You are wrong.>>28689692He is right.Pic related.As for the effect this meme device has, if any, I'm sure you can reproduce it with a rubber sheet and double sided tape.

At worst, it makes the car perform worse for the task at hand.The truth of the matter is that most people who are looking for these performance mods just need to buy a faster car, because they clearly cannot afford to upgrade their existing vehicle properly.
>>28689726This. Some people just want to do *something* to their car, and these devices give them snake oil salesmen arguments to justify their choice to themselves.My new idea: put coils on your car and use them to produce torque by using the Earth magnetic field.This is proven technology, that's how spacecrafts adjust their trajectories https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagnetorquerSurely some dumbass would install such a device on their car if the marketing department told them doing so would improve their cornering.
