Stut bars?

I know nothing about strut bars...Neuspeed makes front upper strut bars, front lower strut bar (x-brace), and rear lower tie bar for my 03 civic coupe. Should I get all three of them or what? what is better? like i said i have no clue about strut bars...need some suggestions..thanx

the front upper strut bar makes the biggest difference. People say that it makes your steering tigher, turns quicker, lane shifts smoother...I have it on order as well as the x brace. I belive the x brace should be your next mod dealing with strut bars. It also helps with the rigidy of your car and handeling. People say it wont make as much as a dramatic difference as the front upper strut bar, but its definetly worth the money and you still do notice a big difference. The rear lower tie bar is really not worth it unless you upgrade your rear anti-sway bar. You wont feel any difference in handeling just with the rear lower tie bar, as ive heard, but it prevents your chasis from ripping from the stress put on my a thicker rear anti-sway bar such as the progress(22mm) one or the neuspeed one. If you get the rsx one (19mm) the rear lower tie bar isnt needed, but recommended. The neuspeed anti-sway bar comes in a combe with the lower tie bar i think....Hope this stuff helps....The rear upper strut bar shows the least difference but still worth getting, neuspeed doesnt have this yet by the way

no, if you buy the neuspeed 22mm rear anti-sway bar, its comes with an integrated lower tie bar, but if you just buy the tie bar seperate, thats all you get, look at the neuspeed website, it has a pic of it, its $399.95 on there, but i would go with the rsx one, its 19mm, a little thinner, but its only like $80 and you dont really need a lower tie bar unless u turn fast as hell and are really really hard on your handeling, then just buy the tie bar seperate, thats what im going to do.

oh ok...well i'll prolly just go with the front x brace and the front upper strut bar since i'll get the most results from that...but if i ever decide to shuck out some money for the anti sway bar then i'll do like u said...thanx man for the advice!
