I notice that it doesn't feel like it will skid out from under me anymore, but just a little. I don't have my car lowered or any other chassis bar on yet, but I will soon. Hopefully with the Sway bar, front upper strut bar, and a drop things will improve quite a bit.

i bought the generic kind off ebay it was easy it bolts right on its a pain to break the rear bolts on the struts but some wd40 and long bit ratchet its no problem yeah my back end used to slip out lke a bizich on some places i practice my driving but now its alot tighter next is the lower tie bar and front upper strut the more handling the better

So it appears as if the consensus is that the eBay rear upper strut bars are decent, but the eBay front upper strut bars are ***. So, it looks like Neuspeed f/u and eBay r/u are the way to go
