Strut Bars
Tein SS w/ Spoon Rear Upper and Xbrace....
Thats all I would have....and my EX swaybar...Forgot that!
Would I be ok steering wise with that? I know its not the absolute best setup but I dont want to drop a ton of money into bars....I'm basically looking to stop my Tein's from spueakin in the rear.

yeah, i don't see why this would change much. you are good to go. I heard the akimoto floor bar will stop the squeeking but you can't get that anymore.

Rep Power: 401 If you're gonna stiffen the lower front, you gotta stiffen the upper front... someone buckled the roof by not having a strut bar... can't remember who.

Rep Power: 389 Boilermaker is right, i think you should stiffen the front top too. You might end up with more oversteer though, but probably not much. I haven't heard of anyone buckling the roof though! that would be scary!

Rep Power: 396 Yeah, I heard about this earlier. Supposedly someone bucked their roof while autocrossing with only a front sway bar upgrade and no strut bar? Something like that. I don't even know who started this rumor... Sounds stupid though 'cause I had only a front sway bar and no strut bars and I did some really really abusive things and nothing happened to my roof. It's BS IMO unless it's a different story.
