Strut bars tie the tops of the shock towers together. Sway bars tie lower control arms together.

Strut bars is kind of a misnomer as 88-00 Hondas use shocks and not struts.

Sway bars eliminate body roll, strut bars eliminate chassis flex.

If you're looking for real results you can feel, go with the sway bar.
