Strut bars or Sway bars

I have the front and rear upper strut bars. Do I need lower tie bars and sway bars too. Will I need both (tie and sway for the front and back) or one or the other?

You don't NEED anything. It's actually better if you have no sway bars at all and shocks and springs that change their stiffness while cornering. Awesome!!! That doesn't exist for our cars though, so it's best to get sway bars to make the car more flat in the corners.

You should get a tie bar in the rear if you get a rear sway bar upgrade. You don't need a tie bar in the front though IMO. I don't have one and there hasn't been any problems. I've run my car so hard that I cracked a rim though, so that says something for the way I drive.
