Why are you looking for them if you don't know where they go?

strut tower bars brace the strut towers to each other. tie bars go on the subframe.

They'll be fine, but a 3-point bar will work better. Honestly I think they (ebay bars) look too ghetto to be using as a rear lower tie bar, since that bar is easily visible from outside of the car. Everywhere else is fine though.

do you have any other suspension mods? a while ago I was gonna get tower bars cause its a cheap easy mod, but I found out its pretty useless unless you already have a drop.

what makes a good strut bar is the joint, its best to have no joint at all to allow the least amount of chassis flex, like a Tripod bar or this bar: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/jdm-9...ltDomainQ5f100

but because these type are so expensive , I plan on doing something in the middle that does have a joint, but it is a sturdier one than the little thin ebay $10 bars

I would not even bother with lower tie bars, everyone I have talked to says they are pretty much pointless

I have a ebay strut tower bar. I notice barely any difference so I am planning on replacing it with a 3-point one. You should just save your money and get a better name-brand one.
