I have no strut bars on my car.

Good struts, springs, tires, and SWAYBARS add shitloads better handling over strut bars.

If you've already got good struts/springs, swaybars, good tires, etc. then the strut bars can help, but stand alone they do little.

SKunk2 Front upper
Skunk2 Rear upper
Skunk2 Rear lower tie

I put the rear upper on first and felt a slight difference
a week later put the front upper on and felt a big difference
another week went by and I put the rear lower on and felt a difference

I don't think they were all necessary, but I like the way it rides, the only one I would remove if any is the rear upper, takes up trunk space (but looks cool)

yes , but when you have a very nice set of dampers and tires and whatnot , strut bars will help as well ,fo sho wont hurt

but a good set of dampers and a nice rear sway bar will be the biggist difference hands down.....

A.
1997 Cx
JDM ITR motor w/ LSD
CTR 26mm front bar
JDM ITR 23mm rear bar
stock shocks
stock 14" wheels/tires

B.
1997 Cx
stock motor
Tein RA full coilovers
15x6.5 wheels with shitto tires.


To me, A was 10x more stable than B. I think sway bars completely make the difference. Strut bars are more show than anything else. I mean, yeah, they offer something, but swaybars are waaaaayyyy more useful.

front upper strut bar, no upper in the back due to sub box ... Lower tie bar in back, but not in the front due to 3" downpipe.
