I can't answer this from a technical stand point., but I'll tell you what I've experienced with mine since I had it installed on my '00 Civic coupe. I always noticed that under moderate speeds on a tight turn, or one of those 270 dgree turn freeway on/offramps, the tendancies of my car, was for the rear end to want to slide out towards the opposite direction of the turn, that I'm sure is mainly due to my POS stock tires/rims setup, but it happened none-the-less. Once I got my lower rear tiebar installed, my car (and steering) felt more responsive, and more balanced (from the rear mostly) under hard cornering. The rear didn't have as much of a tendancy to slide out anymore, and I could push the car faster in a turn or curve before the rear would feel floaty in means of traction (gotta love FWD
). I hear as for bars on your car in terms of brace bars, the front upper, and the rear lower are best to get. And as mentioned above, they certainly look sweet n a car, I like the look of the DC Sports lower tie, the best. A nice bar I'de love to own is that SWEET Comptech swaybar/tiebar all-in-one unit they make/sell for around $370. It's a tiebar mounted onto a sway bar, so you get the weight transfer and hadling abilities of a swaybar, while ALSO getting the added chassis rigidy and stiffening of a tie bar. Very cool indeed. :sun: Here's a pic of my tie bar on my Civic:
