Default -------- NEED HELP QUICK !! ON STRUT BARS !!

ok, i have a 1995 integra, im going to lower it with some s.Techs, my driving style is regular, freeway speed is around 80-85 normally, at night time or during long trips, might go a few mph more, is it wise of me to get a 4pc strut bar set?

bump is read please.

You won't notice anything other than looks until you've modified your suspension much more than just some springs and you start to drive it hard. Even then you'll barely notice a thing and the money would be better spent on something else.

This is a common misconception. Integras have shocks, not struts. The strut bar will probably not even register on the assometer.

When my car was stock I did notice a little difference when I added a front upper strut bar. I also added a rear upper and lower and I cant say I noticed any difference. Now I have my full coilovers I really doubt they make much difference but I keep them on as I allready own them.

I also upgraded to the rear ITR 22mm sway bar and it made a big difference. This was well worth the money.

x2 that a rear-sway bar makes a world of difference.

It reduces understeer, meaning your car turns easier.
