basically spend a lot of money

sway bars and springs make the biggest difference,

stiff struts and a strut tower bar help too

if you're riding on original suspension, odds are your struts are pretty much done and your sway bar links are probably worn

^yah. The springs are what hold your car up, but give it the ability to not jar everything to hell when you hit a bump.

You've got to make a decision on how much ride comfort you're willing to sacrifice for stability, though. Stiffer suspension = stiffer ride.

If I added a strut tower bar, I would I see a difference?

no. You need a rear sway bar. ...as well as springs and struts. You will see little to no effect from a front strut tower brace. The gen3 body is fairly rigid, its the weenie oem rsb thats giving you the trouble.

Its bolts to the lower part of your rear sturts. This helps keep the tires on the ground. Whiteline makes a bar for your car that runs 109. Check it out, www.ctmotorsport.com
