Default Benefit of an Upper rear tie bar?

What kind of benefits will I notice with an upper rear tie bar. I just ordered a Neuspeed and wanted to hear some peoples opinions, experience, noticable improvements or not??

Barely any noticeable gain on the streets. I'm not so sure if you'd feel that much it even at the limits. You should've picked up a 26mm sway bar instead.

Autocrossing, the rear felt ever so slightly more tossable with the rear bar in place. Ultimately, it can't hurt long-term to increase chassis rigidity and reduce flex etc, but it's not the night and day difference that a real rear swaybar is to a GS-R, for example. A 26mm rear bar would be a more dramatic change, but i'm glad i got my JDM RSTB.

The ITR already has a trunk brace and lower tie bar but if you don't need the trunk space why not?

I think F&R Mugen 26mm sway bars would really reduce body roll but they're $$$.

Yeah, how come Honda gives us that crap stamped steel upper control arms. JDM ones are much more solid...but I wonder if you'd feel the difference for SoloII.
