Front and rear strut bars

Does anyone here have a front and/or rear strut bar in their civic?
If so, did it really make a big difference to the handling, or did you not notice it at all?

Just trying to figure out if it would be a waste of money or not.

Thanks!

there is a difference

I just baught my 06 coupe and I have not had a chance to mess with it yet, however i did have a rear strut bar on my 2002 si, and yes it does make a noticable difference for the price of them it is deffinitely worth doing. Not only does it help the cornering aspect but just gives the car more responsive steering whether cornering or changing lanes on the freeway.

The thing you will want to realize as well is that you dont wanna put to many braces and tie-bars on the drive wheels you want to have some roll on the drive wheels so you can keep traction, if you dont know what im talking about let me know ill explain.
