strut bars

If you have an upper front strut bar, would it help to get the rear one or does that help any?
Same with the rear, does the lower help anymore other than just the upper one?

they all help to some degree. I am going all out on my suspension. both front strut bars, both sway bars, and both tie/cross bars! they all stiffen somewhat.

Do you have to get all the bars together or is it alright to get like the front strut bar first and the rest later?

If you get the front bar, the front will be stiff and the rear will be loose. You will feel your car go in the direction of the bump you hit on the ground. If you have the rear and front, your car will be more predictable. Getting just the rear should fix understeer. You will not need the lower tie bar until you upgrade your sway bars.
