I don't think there is a super increase in handling, it does help tho, but not super noticeable. When I had the Neuspeed bar on, it was a marginal difference. Because our cars come stock with a strut bar so to speak, adding another one would help a little, but mainly it would be for looks. The lower one should also provide some needed assistance since the Comptech sway for the front is almost similar to stock.

Maybe u should have ordered the lower instead. I think the stock one works. The lower one really helps suspension flexes.

Ive seen pics of it, Astroboy has one on his car as well.

I have a ton of mods on my car, but Im passing on this one. It just hangs too low for me. With a dropped car if you are travelling along and that thing gets snagged on a raised manhole cover of whatever, you will not only damage the bar, but whateveits attached to as well.

Actually, you should ask yourself the question, not us. Reason is the degree of mod goes accordingly with how you drive.

If your car is bone stock, get the Comptech sways. You'll actually get performance gain as opposed to just more of cosmetics. The sways will make your car perform almost like a dropped car.
