Will neuspeed front upper tie reduce tramlining?

Because the neuspeed front upper tie bar seems to stiffen up the steering, will this result in less tramlining and keeping the steering really stable? People with the neuspeed, please give me your impressions of it!

Tramlining is mainly caused by your tires.

Tires are the main factor. What kind are you using?

I can't say from experience on my TSX since I'm still on OEM tires, but as much as I liked Bridgestone Potenza SO3's in other ways on my Supra, I'm glad to be rid of them since they seemed to be especially bad with tramlining, and it wasn't the fat width fronts since I'm running the same size now and much less of that effect.

I have SO3's on my TSX and I have almost spun my car several times on the freeway from Tramlining. I will be moving to the Pilots soon as I need new tires and these are supposed to traml less.

if anything it would increase the feeling of tramlining. the front upper strut tigthens up the steering feel, so if its tramlining, you'll probably *feel* it more (not that its actually incresaing it)

Man, that sounds unusually twitchy! Did you change tire size from OEM and maybe end up with too much front suspension geometry change and not compensate by an alignment change? Some cars are more sensitive to that than others. The '80 Honda Accord that I bought new reacted that way when I took off the original tires and went to low profile tires.
