for better turning/traction, right? or is it just for safety?
sorry my friend was told by some honda/acura certified mechanic the lower tie bars are just for safety.

i told him the reason why he doesn't feel a difference is because he got DC

Yes, it prevents twisting or flexing of the subframe.

I don't see how safety comes into play?

tell your friend to take ASE training, because he properly need it. JK

nothing to do with safety

EVOL is right, for most part, it's for blings only

dc bars are ****, thats part of your problem. A buddy of mine had a front upper strut bar that you could flex with your own body weight - the models with all the holes in them anyway. I think they have some new bad-dog **** coming out now.
