Strut bar Could Fix Vibration on Lowered r56?

Does Strut bar helps to eliminate the vibration on lowered R56?

Just a little vibration on 40-50km run.

Thought of getting one if this worked.

I'd suspect wheel balance or alignment or a faulty tire to be the problem, and a strut bar won't help with that.

I don't see a strut bar helping a vibration.

That is a new novel idea but it is likely not going to work.

+1 on starting with the tire balancing. Make sure you get road force balancing.
