tie bar/strut bar?
i got my rear tie bar instaleld today.. i think i notice a differnce but maybe its juss in my head.
neways, does anyone have a front strut? notice any differnce in handling? whut brands are good? im thinkin about neuspeed or dc sports cause the damn intake gets in the way of other no names bars.

Rep Power: 368 a rear lower tie bar cant really be felt.. it may stiffen up the rear LCA points more but I dont really think its something u feel...
rear ties are mostly used to reinforce the subframe when larger sway bars are used..
want to improve ur handling or do something that'll make a difference? (good or bad, depending on ur preference in handling)...
here are some factors that affect handling a lot more than strut bars and tie bars.
tires.
springs.
shocks.
sway bars.
a front upper strut bar is a good thing to grab though. its always good to stiffen up the front of the chassis a bit...

I have a Neuspeed front upper and i definetely feel a difference. Way more stable!
I also have the RSX anti-sway bar and yea, this is by far the best suspension mod for the money.
The lower tie is there just for support... can't really help anything. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I have the same set up as AK cept i have an OBX rear strut bar. I want the progress front sway bar too. I think that lowering plus the strut/sway/tie bars will make the most difference. My car isn't lowered yet but I have felt a big difference just with the bars. I drove an '03 sedan and it felt all mushy compared to my car.

Rep Power: 0 hmm...so sway bars is what I should be looking at....???
I know people have swapped the RSX rear onto their EX's...but I may be dumb...but has it been done to an LX...is it possible...?
I just put on a R.U bar and R.L. bar...and it feels a little tighter back there...I need to get a new F.U. now that i can't use my generic bar with my intake...
