FWIW... I have a JDM rear upper strut, and I like it. I don't think it's going to be as drastic as you are worried about.

 

id go with JDM itr rear upper strut... i dont have one yet.. but i dont think it should be soo bad... and i dont think you could really feel it for regular daily driving.. unless you haul *** everywhere you go... or can you tell by regular driving? ( i dont think so but not sure)

 

I hope you're not buying a JDM suspension componant just for the bling. Having the rear a bit looser is the point of buying such items, and IMO shouldn't be on your car if you think that is a bad side effect.

 

FF cars are notorious for understeer. Anything that makes the end a little looser is

 

I have the JDM rear bar and a cusco front lower tie. Cant really say i think the rear bar did anything, if anything it was miniscule. I did notice i had less understeer with the front lower tie bar though, nice mod for the price and usually an overlooked part.

 

I'm not buying the rear bar for the bling. I just read from someone here that when he took the rear upper bar out he notice that when he took a corner hard he rear almost slip out from under him and when he took it off it felt more planted. just wondering.

 

i noticed a lot with my mugen bars. made the car so much stable and flatter cornering, instead of the front end plowing.

 

my car goes side ways in turns very easliy... i stiffend up the shocks but damn...with out the rear strut bar, car doesnt do it as often
