yes, of coarse you will. They will greatly help your suspension from shifting around durning quick turns

what?


But yea, they'll help a lot. you will have much less body roll. If you're at stock height though, you'll still have quite a bit of body roll. A good and well chosen set of shocks and springs or coilovers will help with that.

by full strut bar does it mean upper front and rear and lower front and rear? they will definitely help, like others said less body roll during quick turns. with a nice set of coilovers or shock and springs setup, you will definitely notice a huge increase in handling performance

forget the rear lower tie bar. Get an ASR subframe brace and a rear sway bar.

btw I have kyb agx's, love them much.

Strut bars don't control body sway. Anti-swaybars and the springs do. Strut bars and braces control chassis flex. Yes, they will improve the handling of your Civic, especially full lower braces and triangulated upper bars.
