yeah, I like them...they look nice and work well. I went with the Si bar for the back...you can't beat the price, it works well, and you don't have to worry about it tearing anything

How much of a difference do those sway bars make? What exactly improves on the cars ride? How much do they cost?

THose are not sway bars, they are strut bars. They help stiffen the chassis, sway bars help limit body roll and keep the tires planted.

On the street you may not notice a difference with strut bars.

bonzo may have been talking about the sway bars that str8edge and i were talking about.. my suspension techniques has greatly reduced the body roll of my car and taking turns is much smoother and faster IMO.. the car feels more sturdy and strong.. not to mention sporty.. when i am doin like 55-60 and jerk the wheel to one side or the other, the car stays very level and the response is very quick. as far as i know the ST bars are not too big to tear anything.. i heard about a few other brands (comptech and neuspeed i think) that may tear the subframe out.. if you're worried about that, there are a few companies that make subframe reinforcements.

my front and rear sway bar kit was $230 or so from nopi.
