well GReddy is a good reputable company so "instinctively" i would say yes but i dunno if strut bars are Greddy's strong points. every companys got something they suck at but i aint saying that theyre strut bars are good or bad

There is not nearly enough force on the top of a shock tower that putting a bar across it is going ot make a huge differnce. The upper control arm is going to take most of the beating and a minamal amount of force may be transfered to the shock towers. Sway bars, or shocks, or even tires are going to make a bigger difference that a strut tower bar.
