Front Upper Strut Bar

during hard turns, the car seems to lose some control, and i was wondering if i just get a front upper strut bar, will that alone help improve performance?
everything else stock

and for the bar, are there different quality? grades?

thanks

you are not going to realize any noticable gains with just a front strut bar alone. you are better off getting a front sway bar and upgrading your springs/struts. what gen camry do you drive?

if you are still insistent on getting a strut bar, there are differences in quality that i have noticed. some cheaper bars i found on ebay seemed to be more flimsy, as opposed to the trd strut bar which i ended up using and the bar felt solid as a rock. hope this helps.

i think adding a front sway bar woudl induce more understeer. a solid strut bar and a good spring/strut setup is good. u could stiffen up the rear with a rear sway bar would make the car more neutral and maybe add a touch of oversteer
