I'll let ya know, but i've ordered the eibach prokit, strut tower brace and whiteline rsb and i've got the Tokico Blue struts, so i'm expecting some pretty drastic handling improvements...

prolly won't see too much difference with stock suspension parts, but they do look cool. they are supposed to make a difference during hard cornering and stock suspension parts don't really make for very good handling during aggressive driving.....eh, i suppose it'll make some difference, but how much i have no clue.

A strut tower bar doesn't do very much and you won't feel much difference unless you're constantly thrashing your car through the corners.

A rear sway bar will yield better results.

if you take sharp turns, you will feel a pretty big difference with a strut bar- as long as you've done the rest of the suspension...otherwise, with all the diving, you won't feel the flex anyway
