Default lower tie bar

do front and rear lower tie bars really help all that much, or are they like strut bars...they dont hurt but they dont really do much?

i dont know about the LCAs.. but i know that they take some time putting on and most peeps do it over a month or so... sections at a time and what not.. also it takes time i believe because the old rubber bushings are sometimes a huge bitch to get out, the older the car the worse i'd assume.. and yes its those bushings.. there are other companies also but i'd go (will go) energy suspension
