Default Strut Tower bars do make a difference...

Since I'm selling my '96 RS (just picked up a newer GS-R) I had to take off my Tanabe Strut Tower bars and Benen lower tie bar.

The difference having the bars off is incredibly noticable. Simply taking corners and the like you can feel the flex.

Strut Tower Bars (Front and Rear) >> If you don't have some get some!

yeah a sway bar will help as well.

especially on the older cars, as their rubber bushings start to wear out it's really helps to reinforce (and replace) things.

to be honest I haven't sorted out a price yet! I'll have to go through my files and get all the maintenance records into one folder and the like. IM me your email address and I'll keep you posted. I'd like to sell it within the next few weeks.

Definitely. I noticed a much bigger difference when I added a strut bar to my old Tercel compared to my new-ish Teg.
