sway bars ? (both?) + front strut bar

Hey I'm hearing alot of good word on rear sway bars, how about the front sway bars, because I recently just purchased and now waiting for my neuspeed strut bar =)

Then looked into read and front sway bars, are the install reasonable>? I saw the instructions for the rear no pictures, haha and only 3 lines really.

Any ideas how both sway bars will work? anyone has both?

Any ideas exactly what the front strut bar does, does it really help with steering response, I remember reading it helps with with torque?

Rear sway is great, makes the car much more neutral and reduces body roll by a large amount.

As for the front, i've heard that they actually are not worth it because the induce too much oversteer and make the car less neutral, worsening the handeling charectoristics. Am I right about this guys?

Not quite, the stiffer front bar will actually cause it to understeer again unless you added an even stiffer rear bar.

For street setups, I recommend just upgrading the rear bar. If you still find yourself wanting better performance, then you should look at upgrading the shocks and springs.
