sway bars and strut bars

I just added an front upper strut bar to my car and it does make quite a difference. Does adding the sway bars and lower front and rear strut bars help anymore or does the front upper do most of it and the rest would be mainly just for looks?>

actually the lowers will do more for u than your strut tower bar but it is a good idea to have it for braceing when u add the other bars

guess what? All of them will help. The ones that help the most are the upper front/rear, lower front, and floor bar. I have all but the lower front and I just installed my floor bar. Every bump on the road is felt and my car hugs the corners.

Strut bars and Anti-sway bars do 2 different jobs. Strut bars stiffen the chassis. and Anti-sway bars lower body roll and adjust the Roll couple distrobution(where weight gose). [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

I'd give more credit to rear anti sway bars than an upper front strut bar. Less body roll = faster turns.
