I tend to this so. They stiffen the chassis under heaving cornering. However, if you don't do these things you won't feel 'drastic' differences. also, upper and lower STB help more too.

Yes you will notice a difference in handling. Pick up a FSB cheap from ebay.

i just got mine today. i'm waiting to install it because it's freezing here in chicago. i paid $7.50 plus $15.00 shipping for mine from e-bay. i believe it was Megan Racing. it's cheap but it's not my biggest concern when it comes to modding my car.

Ideally Strut Bars would be used for chassis stiffening only. But do to some peoples setup they choose to eliminate the front bar because it can make the car push. In the end it would be best to get the frame as stiff as possible and then tune the springs for balance. On a car with 300Lbs springs the Strut Bars make the car ride smoother.

get a front lower tie bar - it eliminated all torque steer in my quaife-equipped honda, and makes understeer nearly a non-issue

does shigspeed still make the lower tie bar? Is that the one they said you had to sharpen to cut roadkill instead of pick it up?
