Will an upper strut bar make a noticable difference?
So I put the comptech sways on - didn't notice much of a difference (hadn't lowered the car yet).
Then I put the Tein SS w/EDFC on - WOW :bowdown: what a difference!
However, I found that the car was too low, and raised it up a bit (0.5") to prevent scraping the pavement with my underbody kit. Even such a small raise and I notice more body roll again - still much better than the stock suspension....
So, with my current setup, do you guys think an upper strut bar would make a noticable difference to cornering and body roll? Or, is it a $100 waste?

If you have money to burn, go ahead and do it.
I have the neuspeed strut bar, and i didn't notice any kind of difference. Supposedly, steering would be a bit tighter and more responsive, but i didn't think it was that bad before. The TL already has an upper tie bar, and it's fairly solid.
Like i said though, if you have money to burn, or want something to show people when you pop the hood, then get one. it's also easy to install. Takes 5-10 minutes...

with what you have NO. in the grand sceem of things when all added up t would help, not in body rool but to keep suspension geometry correct. if your suspension has adjustable dampening and rebound, play with those setting. they will make the biggest difference. oh that and better tires.
