all strut bars are tie bars...not all tie bars are strut bars.

Read the FAQ in my signature. tie bars reduce chassis flex. Under tie bars are useless unless you have an upgraded sway. It is NOT a performance part. All of this is covered in the FAQ.

Strut bars go between the struts...

on an earlier generation Civic I can somewhat understand getting a lower tie bar, but on a 7thgen, not necessary unless youre using 22+mm rear sway bar.... well, you can get it for looks........
