if you want to stiffen your ride, go with sway bars. STB's really don't do much.

That bar is metal, wrapped in a CF look vinyl sticker.

ive been looking at some low-cost low tech modifications as well just to mess around

how much would a decent, solid sway bar go for?

and what are the difference between STB and sway bars?

just installed a neuspeed bar on my 97 accord a week ago and i thought it made a huge difference. I almost turned into the divider on the interstate because i wasnt expecting it to be that smooth....

there's only so much a front upper strut bar can do. imo go cheap on this bar. put the money towards things with better returns. i laugh at people who spend 300 dollars on upper strut bars :rofl:. suckers.

i rock ebay front/rear uppers. feels tight. not dead yet.

any strut bar that has a pivoting joint on both ends wont do anything but take up space. get one that is solid and doesnt have pivot points if you want to reduce the flex in the chassis.
