well, I'm not going to say they don't to anything. I certainly did notice a difference in my car... though not a huge one. Another thing to think about Mike, is that your car is ~5 years old while mine is nearly 13... I put my strut bar and rear lower tie on when it had over 170k on the chassis.
But as I mentioned earlier, and as the gist of these threads usually goes... if you're looking to make significant handling improvements, there are better places to start. And as with most components, theres a reason everyone tells you to steer clear of garbage products.
