Is your car really flexing a lot? You could get both bars.

You can correct/alter understeer or oversteer buy just buying one bar.

cant you also fine tune under/over steer with some higher end bars? im not sure what it is for but my freinds REX has a front tower bar and in the middle it has sorta like an adjustable ride height coil over without the coil. it was like adjustable how much push/pull it put on the towers or w/e....i cant think of and example for a sway bar...

Sway bars will have a much greater affect on handling than the strut bars will.

yes. there are sway bars that you can adjust the attachment points.

strut bars elimitate some flex from the body.

Sway bars and strut bars are very different things. One stiffens the chassis a bit (questionable some even work). The other reduces camber loss and somewhats simulates an increase in springrate.

Hey, by your statement, it didn't seem like you knew the difference. I just want to clarify it without pointing a finger at you and saying you didn't know wtf you were talking about. :loser: Try to help some ppl and what do you get for your trouble. :disappoin
