Default Strut bars? Make a difference?

I own a 98 dx sedan.Will stut bars and anti roll bars make a noticable improvement in handling? Is a rear or front tower bar really necessary?

When you buy them, try one at a time.........then wonder why you didn't do it earlier.

I recently installed a strut bar on my civic sedan and it made some slight improvment. Better steering response. I'm going to get a rear lower tie bar soon and see if it gets better.

I started out with just a front upper strut bar. It was noticable when I got it, then I got a rear strut bar, and that was noticeable as well. Once you get used to them though, you really don't notice they are there a whole lot. Time for a rear sway!

Since my Si came with a stock upper front bar I left it alone. I then bought a generic rear upper bar and I noticed it stiffened up the rear quite a bit( I can notice it more since I have my backseat and rear interior out) Then Yesterday I bought a Cusco rear lower arm bar and I have to say, my rear is as stiff as ever.
