Default strut bar?

Would a strut bar be a decent suspension mod on an otherwise stock engine?

imo, If you get one, you should get all four. (front/rear, upper/lower)

It will really tighten up the ride around turns and what not. When my car was 100% stock, that was the first upgrade I did, and it made a significant different. But once I put my 16x7 wheels/tires on there, it REALLY brought out the performance of the bars. Then, get a nice suspension setup, and you'll be whipping around turns like nobody's business

get sturt and tie bars. i got them for my stock suspension and it made a very noticeble difference. there very easy to install and for all of them it might only take about an hour or so to do. i suggest buying them off of ebay. i got mine for $75 shipped from there. i dont really see the point of paying hundreds of dollars for a bar of metal that does the same exact thing as a bar of metal that cost about $20 on ebay...

What about sway bars? I know there to correct under or oversteer, but should I consider them now.

I am new to this stuff and I was just wonderng what the tie arm stabilizer bar bolts to. I know where the strut tower arms go, just not the tie arm stabilizer bar.
Thanks

sway bar is probably the best thing to do to ur suspension for the money. but, it will cost u some $$$. i just noticed i dont have any pics of my tie bars. ill get some tomorrow and post em for u to see.
