Question NEUSPEED Front Upper Strut Tie-Bar

What does a front upper strut tie-bar do? I saw one on TypeSDragon's ride and it looked NICE. It also looks like an install that I could handle!

It makes cornering much better, less body roll. Installation is not bad except you may need to jack up one end of the car to make the bar fit... no big deal though.

You may or may not have to jack up your car...I didn't have to, it went in perfectly...it does help reduce somebody roll, but don't expect a miracle.

I have it and didnt really notice a damn thing. Maybe now that I've installed sways it might actually do something. It's just too bad because they dont make them for the rears yet. I have the super thick sways, so for me the body might tend to twist more than usual, so having the stut bars would definitely help.

If you want a noticeable difference do the sways.

Get the strut bar, there is a slight difference. However, I just got the sways and you will definitely feel the difference.

Yep, thephantom and typesdragon beat me to it, but that is the order I would do if you want to feel the most change upfront.
