this is such a noob question that i could not find the answer with the search function.. i guess its so noob of a question everyone knows it except me therefore no one will post about what im looking for.. the questino is.. what is the differnce between a strut bar and a sway bar? are they the same? if not, are there two of each? please explain. one day i will be leet.

 

strut bar reduces chasis flex

swaybar reduces a cars roll in a corner

 

strut bar is the bar up top that bolts the two shock tower together, mostly add-ons

sway bar is under the car linking the two control arms together to minimize body roll during corner

 

94-01 integras come with front and rear sway bars stock
94-01 gsr's and 97-01 itr's have stock strut bars, the itr's is stiffer and stronger.

 

are there typically two sway bars and two strut bar housings on each car?

 

yes.
