how would i test my car's performance before i install the back and front struts? if that badly worded: you would dyno your car before you put a turbo on it, then dyno it again. that same consept but with strut bars.

A front anti-sway bar would increase understeer...right?

if i get the front and rear strut bars, will the performance difference be dramatic or will i barely notice them?

you will notice a difference. similarly you will notice a difference if you get lowering springs or stickier tires.

On a FWD you want a Rear sway bar to decrease understeer.

...Have you installed the bars yet? You'll feel a difference after you install them.
The best thing you can do is install a rear sway bar.

iirc you need special brackets from a GS-Gts for a rear sway bar on an RS eclipse
tearstone and rre both carry the ST rear sway bar, which i believe eclipsed4utoo loves
i still need to get one
