Default Strut Bars

Hey are strut bars worth the price and do they improve handling a lot?

I've often wondered about these...

when you say ebay ones are worth the price, are you saying that they only do a little, cause your only paying a little, and if you were to get better ones at a higher price, that they would do more?

also, I've been wondering about what i can do to help the front wheels on my 97 civic stick to the road better.. I've seen things that they call traction bars... anyone get any of these? where do they attach to, and what are the pros and cons of using them on a street car?

wow...
you are probably the only person in the world to have this happen.

eBay strut bars are fine. The only strut bars worth spending extra cash for are the 3-point ones.
