would i tbe worth it if i added a strut bar ONLY to the front and not the back?
Does it really do anything worthy of its price?

totally worth it, for rela, Handling is so much better

I just got an ebay one and so has a buncha other people around here, granted front abd back would be better, but if your subs or something is blocking it, atleast the front will make a big difference. I say just get a $35 one off of ebay, you'll be happy with it.

Does the rear upper or the rear lower strut bar on a 7th gen EX prevent you from having a spare tire?

i dont really see how the rear upper would get in the way of the spare tire? But i could be wrong....

I think haveing the rear strut bar on would make a bigger difference than the front, but both together work well. The rear will have the most roll and flex around turns for multiple reasons.

Don't mean to go against ya Flip, just my opinion

Wrong. Especially on sedans the are more effective than the front strut
