you only need the upper rear and front, they help stabalize the chassis from flexing under heavy load (sharp turns at high speeds). they basically just help you handle better. but you need stiff ones that are THICK. cheap thin ebay ones arent what you should invest ur money in. they will make a tiny difference, but not much.

I just bought a brand new Neuspeed front upper strut bar for $49 off Ebay.

When I had my front one on I noticed a decent amount of body stiffness, when I installed my rear STB the car definitely received a new personality.

IMO I would get them along with sway bars

If you are going to get a front upper then I suggest getting the 3pt mounting front strut bar.

I have them for sale just let me know.
