just wondering.

 

sure does, noticed more change with the rear than the front.

 

are you talking about swaybar or strut bar?? a rear swaybar makes a lot bigger difference than a front sway bar, but a rear strut bar makes a smaller difference than a front strut bar, imo

 

strut bar. im not saying theres less body roll. it wont do that. im saying the rear felt more together and turning became more precise. lane change became quicker. nothing major, but did more than than the front bar.

 

Are you sure, I noticed very little difference w/ my prelude.. And thats with r compound tires that will put much more stress on a chassis.. Front helped a shitload though

 

man hell yeah, it makes a diff, i can bring the rear out rather easily

 

A rear strut bar really won't make a difference, i swear! Are you sure you don't mean rear swaybar?

 

STRUT BAR!! the shinny long thing accross my trunk and engine.

 

strut-tie bars never really did much on my car... kinda h.u.r.t.i.n.g.

 

I can't imagine why a rear strut bar would do much. I mean you've got the rear deck right there, a major stress bearing member. Now in the engine compartment, there's nothing tying the front suspension mounting points together, so the front strut tower bars do a lot. Now a fat rear sway bar will do wonders for reducing understeer...
Rear strut bar certainly won't hurt and looks nice if you don't have a big sub box back there...

 

i love how we all agree lol

is a sway bar sometime called a Control tie bar or is that two different things?

 

all i know is i could over steer that thing after i installed it

 

Sway bars are also called anti roll bars.

 

i still have my stock rear sway bar,...i know the diff between both

 

Yah dood I was answering Sabastian's question.

 

some one look on ebay at a "read tie bar" for an accord and that is different or the same as a rear sway bar
im going on its different just buy guessing

 

a rear tie bar could be , a. an upper strut tower bar or, b. a lower tie bar. neither of these is a anti-sway bar or anti-roll bar. a upper strut tower goes from onestrut tower to the other both of wich are in the trunk. a lower tie bar braces the points where the rear lower control arms mount to the chassis. a sway bar connects the lower control arms and uses points between so it may act as a lever (for lack of a better discription) between the rear wheels/tires.
I just added a rear tie bar when I installed the coilovers so I dont know how much it helped alone. But my car spun twice at the auto-x last week, but when I let the suspension do the work and seemingly went slow I ran preytty fast, check out the times in the link below, it was the most recent event at sandhill.
