Sway and Strut Bar Infos

Hi folks.... I hope that you can help me with this. Some poeple told me that it's not a good thing to put Sway Bars on the front and rear wheels for streets/roads application. They say that it decreases handling. As i read on another forum, the best thing to do would be to put Strut Bars in front and rear, but only one Sway Bar on the rear wheels to increase the handling of my car. What do you think about it??? If you need any other infos on my car or on what I'm doing with it to help you answer this question, I'll tell you what need. Thx a lot guys :biggrin:

On a front wheel drive car you want the large bar on the rear and upgraded bushings/end links on the stock front sway. I think a lower rear-tie is way more important than upper strut bars.

Actually in order of effectiveness (first being most effective) it goes:
Front upper tower brace
Rear lower tie-bar
Front lower tie-bar
Rear upper strut tower brace

This is why I have the first 2, although I'm like 99.67934805739205732% sure my rear tie bar isn't doing ANYTHING for me. I could be because it's a POS generic style Arospeed bar, or it could just be my meaty 22mm ITR rear swaybar. Eitherway, you'll always want to add or upgrade your swaybars BEFORE you go adding sturt brace/bars if increased handling is what you are looking for.

In the realm of peformance handling driving (like auto-X and road racing) swaybars will NEVER DEcrease vehicl handling. They will however decrease it if you are drag racing the car.
