^+1..front/rear upper strut bars, front/rear lower tie bars, c-pillar bar all for about $100. will prolly do better than that thing and is prolly cheaper..

I really liked the eBay tie bar kit I had on the Civic... until I got the MINI and started to do some real research into chassis tuning and got some real products with some real R&D behind them.

For any front wheel drive factory car your best bet is to get a larger rear sway bar. Period. It'll neutral the oversteer and reduce roll. Next thing to do is fix the toe problem that car companies build into cars for safety in corners when unexperienced people let up or hit the brakes... this is harder and requires some custom work though.

As far as the frame locks go, I'm willing to bet they do quite a bit of good if you already have larger front and rear sway bars that are dialed in.
